Shinto
Shinto is a proper noun referring to a specific spiritual tradition, and as such, it is always capitalized. It describes a belief system that is deeply integrated into Japanese cultural identity rather than a dogmatic religion with a single founder or sacred text. This makes it distinct from organized religions like Christianity or Islam.
When used as an adjective, it modifies nouns related to rituals, architecture, or beliefs (e.g., Shinto shrines). Because it refers to a unique, singular system of belief, the noun form is uncountable and does not have a plural form.
