Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers
Long title
  • Abolition of Governmental Sponsorship, Support, Perpetuation, Control, and Dissemination of State Shinto
Enacted bySupreme Commander of the Allied Powers
EnactedDecember 15, 1945

The Shinto Directive was an order issued in 1945[1] to the Japanese government by Occupation authorities to abolish state support for the Shinto religion. This unofficial "State Shinto" was thought by Allies to have been a major contributor to Japan's nationalistic and militant culture that led to World War II. The purpose of the directive was ostensibly based in ideas of freedom of religion and separation of church and state.
