that wasn't my point, and tengri as i understand it only has 2 deities. My point is that the we really dont need to argue over such. isn't the whole point of all these religions to worship whichever deities you want to? so why fight over it all. leave that to the Christians and Muslims.
my connections between Shinto and Hindu is that besides several major deities there are countless other ones(some can be completely your own invention my father tells me he read an article that a guy in India with a phd would worship his computer due to the fact that it helps him earn a living), as apposed to Norse and Wiccan in which the deities are set out. Of course i'm no expert but that is the way it seams to me. i was taught almost all religions today have some root in Hindu since its the oldest religion. except for Judaism and islam which branches out from judaism. Roman catholics and eastern orthodox are considered pagan by our standards.
