Other than yours, which other religion fascinates you and why?

I look at religion in a broad sense as meaning a strict set of principles adhered to and repetition. Everyone is religious in this basic sense. As far as organized religion I find Shinto to be the most interesting only because it's evolution is relatively recent. It existed in Japanese culture for centuries before it had to take on the name Shintoism due to the arrival of Buddhism. Prior to that it was ritualistic festivals during planting and harvesting seasons in which various interchangeable gods were celebrated. Their idea of gods is perhaps more relatable to our word spirits. Then the Japanese royal family wrote rescripts for instruction of Japanese youth. Basically they thought they were superior and could take over the world. After intense bombing of Japan, including but not limited to Hiroshima and Nagasaki the people of Japan pretty much abandoned religion as represented by Shintoism and Buddhism overnight, although they, especially Shintoism is such a part of the Japanese culture that they hardly notice it.

It reminds me of science.
