For many people, religion is a large part of life whether it be because of one's culture, family, or simply an enlightening experience. For others, religion is meaningless, unfamiliar, or something that they are involuntarily involved with. For those who choose to participate in religious practices, religion can serve as a means of purpose--proving some people with the answers to the wonders of the world. Faith can guide people through life, giving people the courage and strength to make it through the trials and tribulations of life. Religion can also serve as a moral compass, mapping out what is "right" and "wrong" for many. For those who choose not to participate in religious culture and practice, alternative means can be found to serve the same purposes that religion often does. Many people who are religious think that their way of life is "better" or the correct way to live, and many people who are not religious believe the same thing about themselves (although this is not always true for entire communities of people). But do these differences really matter? Does religion make a difference in regard to one's livelihood? Health? Are people who are religious "happier"? Or perhaps people who aren't religious are more happy? What is the general impact of religion on people's well-being?.

Shinto is one of the two major religions in Japan.  The other is Buddhism.  Shinto began in the prehistoric period.  Shinto stresses an appreciation for the beauties of nature.  The earth, sky, sea, sun, moon, and the stars are worshipped as gods.  The sun is worshipped as the goddess Amaterasu, ancestress of the Japanese emperors.  The moon is the male god, while Mount Fuji is the mountain goddess.  Shinto festivals are held throughout the year, especially at the change of seasons in spring and fall.

In this definitive work-a product of more than half a century of research and close observation-the noted anthropologist Omer C. Stewart provides a sweeping reconstruction of the rise of peyotism and the Native American Church. Although it is commonly known that the modern peyote religion became formalized around 1880 in western Oklahoma, it had roots in precontact American Indian ritual. Today it is practiced by thousands upon thousands of American Indians throughout the West.Long a subject of controversy, peyotism has become a unifying influence in Indian life, providing the basis for ceremonies, friendships, social gatherings, travel, marriage, and much more. As Stewart demonstrates, it has been a source of comfort and healing and a means of expression for a troubled people. Religion.
