The discussion of ethnocentrism vs. cultural relativism in today's Anthropology class brought to mind a conversation I had with a co-worker late last week, during which I was asked about Shinto in relation to Christianity and explained that Shinto has no central "god" as strictly defined by various other religions.
Before I could continue, the response from my co-worker was: "Then how is it a religion?"
