Huh? I suppose this is about whether a religious edifice belongs to Buddhism or Shinto, which has nothing in (actual) English to do with whether it's a "temple" or a "shrine", since that isn't what the English words mean, but Shinto has a more or less unlimited number of (quasi-)deities, and Buddhism has (iiuiac) none, so there aren't many of the ones that get worked up about their different one true gods in sight. (Parse carefully)

Depends on the branch of Bhuddism.  Some have as many gods as the Shinto.  :P
