Animism is the belief that all of nature (including inanimate objects) is actually alive and have a soul or spirit. This religious belief is very common with many if not most indigenous peope expressed in tribal, pagan, and shamanistic religions. The primitive people of India were animists and tribal groups in India still practice amimism. This set of beliefs, however, has been much more influential. The animism pf early India has been into mainstream Hinduism and survives as a range of local traditions. The same has occurred with Shintoism in Japan. Shto is a much more pury animist religion than Hinduism.
