Kami, unlike the western concept of gods, are not omnipotent nor perfect. They sometimes make mistakes and behave badly as well.

Japan has been described as "not a religious country, but a superstitious one."

Shintoism was the national religion of Japan until WWII. Japan is now a secular country but Shinto customs, as well as Buddhist customs, are still very much ingrained in the Japanese lifestyle.

To me, it's not about believing any religion; it's about learning different kinds of religions from anthropological perspectives.

Only because their gods are just as man made as any other.

Maybe that is why I find their concepts/beliefs interesting.
