In religion there are like three categories of holy book:
Taoism strangely lacks Myth entirely, preferring to deal in the latter two. There are fables in the Chuang Tzu, but they are directly listed as parables, not actual myth.
Then you have Shintoism, which aside from the idea of purity and spirits in everything, it seems to be very hard to get a grasp of what they actually believe, and there don't appear to be any commandments either. It seems very strange in terms of getting a grasp of "this is who we are as Shintos."
- Myth
- Beliefs
- Practice
