Shintoism is characterized by its deep connection to nature, reverence for kami (spirits or gods associated with natural elements), and an emphasis on rituals and practices rather than specific dogma or scripture. Unlike many other religions studied in this unit, Shintoism does not have a single founder or a central religious text; instead, it focuses on tradition and the veneration of ancestors. Its practices are often interwoven with Japanese culture and daily life, highlighting a harmonious relationship with the natural world. This distinct focus on ritual purity and the celebration of life through ceremonies sets Shintoism apart from other religious traditions.

Where did Rome borrow its ideas for its polytheistic religion from?

Rome did not borrow any ideas for its polytheistic religion. It was polytheistic right from the start. All ancient religions, apart from Judaism, were polytheistic. Rome adopted five Greek divinities and later linked its deities to the Greek ones. She also adopted some Etruscan and Italic deities. However, this was not a borrowing of ideas for their religion. It was the incorporation of foreign divinities and cults in the pantheon of Roman deities and the array of cults.
