sorry to bother...
I'm wondering if anyone could send me a brief list/explanation of bad
things done in the name of shintoism.  (yes, it's for a fic)

I make no claim to be an expert or anything but I don't think there 
is really anything. People, feel free to contradict me....

Shinto revolves around veneration of spirits (both of ancestors and 
things around them) I don't think that it has ever been a rallying 
point for a religious war or anything. Unlike western religions as 
far as I can tell it was never really a centrally organised religion.

There have of course been 'bad spirits' and bad people who have 
supposedly made deals with these spirits but overall its essentially 
benign and closer to native Amerind creation myths and stories in 
feel than official dogma.
