 | | Sect Shinto can be classified into Sect Shinto and New Sect Shinto. |
 | | Sect Shinto are groups of Shinto believers (Kurozumikyo, ShintoShuseiha, Izumo Oyashirokyo, Fusokyo, Jikkokyo, Shinshukyo, Shinto Taiseikyo, Ontakekyo, Shintotaikyo, Misogikyo, Shinrikyo, Konkokyo, and Tenrikyo) that started individual religious activities (before 1868 and after 1882) when Shinto shrines were secluded from other religious institutions as the place for rites and festivals conducted by the state. |
 | | Although Sect Shinto groups follow traditional Shinto rites and festivals and worship the Kami, each group has a founder, its own doctrines, and usually a central figure of divinity to revere. |
