Shinto became the recognized state religion in the late 19th
century. Shinto relates that the emperors of Japan are all
descended from the first Emperor and the native Japanese
people are descended from the kami or Japanese spirits. Legend
explains that Japan is an old country and the people are
descended from the original kami. In addition, the Imperial
family descending from Amaterasu, who is the “Japanese Shinto
sun goddess, ruler of the Plain of Heaven, whose name means
'shining heaven' or 'she who shines in the heavens”, making the
Imperial family older than the natives and from a line of kami
with higher rank. With the creation of State Shinto, Amaterasu
was deemed the most important god, and with her new status
was used to authenticate the emperor as ruler and high priest of
Shinto. Official doctrine stated that because the Japanese were
descendants from the gods, they were the superior people of the
world. These beliefs set the political and military path for Japan
until 1946 after WWII. Many Japanese still consider Shinto to
be the national religion, although it is now different than it was
before 1946.
Two (2) things which would explain the close relationship
between Shintoism and Japanese nationalism are that Japanese
people think themselves superior to other races so there
government is the best one and should rule the world, in
addition, the religion was the government and the government
was the religion as the Emperor was ruler of both.
Explain at least two ways in which Zoroastrianism acts like a
bridge between Eastern and Western religions.
Zarathushtra, the religion of Zoroastrianism, originated in
Persia, which is now Iran and scholars believe it to be the
world’s first monotheistic faith.
Currently there are around 200,000 members but it was once
the official religion
of the Persian Empire.
The first ruler of the Persian Empire, Cyrus the Great, ordained
Zoroastrianism as the official religion of his state. In addition,
he freed the Jewish people from the Babylonians and when they
went back to Jerusalem, they carried the basics of
Zoroastrianism beliefs with them that are evident in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam today.
Zoroastrianism remained the official religion for over 1000
years, having significant persuasion on all three (3) world
kingdoms.
As Christianity and Islam began at this time, both were
influenced by Zoroastrianism.
For these reasons, it is clear that Zoroastrianism was in part a
direct precursor to both Christianity and Islam. The Jewish,
Christian, and Muslim faiths pertaining to
God and Satan, the
soul, heaven and hell, etc. were all consequential of
Zoroastrianism beliefs. Over the past 1500 years, religions have
continued to branch off of beliefs that originated in ancient Iran
from Zoroastrianism
