Until Moses (or prior to the Talmud), what makes that different from Judaism?
At what point did the apostles or early followers of Jesus who demonstrated
themselves to be doubtful or ignorant, become Christian?

So what are the shrines, schools and priesthood about then? Shinto has a lot
more going for it in terms of structure, authority or influence, than Aum,
Heaven's Door, or other cults you call religions.
