What is State Shinto?
State Shinto was a system of government policy in the Japanese Empire where the government controlled the religion of [[Shinto]] and enforced it on the population. This included non-Japanese people in their colonies. This was justified by a theory called [[Secular Shrine Theory]] where [[Shinto shrines]] were considered secular. {{State Shinto}} {{Religion and politics}} [[Category:Politics of Japan]] [[Category:State Shinto]] {{Japan-stub}}
