Trent Maxey, Professor at Amhurst College and author of "The Greatest Problem" runs down how Shinto as a native religion is an invention of the modern state in Japan, and how the "secular" state has used Shinto on the order of the American deployment of Christianity. He describes the dishonesty in supposed neutrality toward religion, and the difference with European religious tolerance.
