Sect Shinto (教派神道, Kyōha Shintō, or 宗派, Shuha Shintō) is a type of Shinto group that was legally excluded from State Shinto.[1] Sect shinto groups have more developed belief systems than Shrine Shinto which focuses more on rituals.[2]
Many sect shinto groups are members of the Kyoha Shintō Rengōkai (教派神道連合会, Association of Sectarian Shinto).[3]
They were originally managed by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs which itself became a sect called Shinto Taikyo, a descendant of the Taikyo Institute
Tenrikyo used to be considered a Sect Shinto group, but is now considered another religion.[4]
