I have a soft spot for the topic of people who are dual faith. It's weird, you know. If you're an atheist, you get a thumbs up from me. If you're religious with one faith, you get a raised eyebrow from me. And if you are dual faith, you get two thumbs up from me. It just feels like you're more open-minded if you are more than one faith.

Yes. Alright, suppose you were raised Shinto. Shinto doctrine has a limited range of what they claim and doesn't call dibs on a whole lot regarding what to make an origin about. Then suppose you went to Australia and thought "I like the Dreamtime beliefs, I want to see if I believe in it". Supposing the matters discussed by Australian mythology doesn't intersect with the matters discussed in Shintoism, you can be both. It wouldn't be like Judaism and Hinduism where, in one, there are declarations of being one god and one son of god, while in the other, there's a whole ecosystem of gods and avatars.
