Some more notes
1. It's doesn't matter how many followers of Shinto have abandon there theism Shinto has gods. (I named one) This just means there doing cultural Shinto (a pillar of Japanese culture) not following the religion .
2. The portion on Jains makes no sense all Hindu's are externalists. As they reject linear time and view reality as a cycle of creation and destruction (destruction isn't the end it's just a phase ) And in old trinity (the one the Jains traditionally accept). There was no destruction just waking, waning and sleeping. But it's still a trinity of states of the brahma. Did I mention they don't reject the rest of the Hindu pantheon.
3. Again for Taoist you ignore cultivation of immortality
4. pantheism is still a believe in A GOD that's why it's called pantheism and not atheism
Once again you didn't read my posts and have shoved Abrahamic presumptions onto other cultures
I don't know how you figure that I'm presuming anything, seeing how I quoted directly from sources. Why are you so desperate to prove that atheistic religions don't exist?
Also pantheism posits that everything is god (pan = all), a tree or a rock is god.
What you're doing is conflating 'God' (uppercase) with 'god' (lowercase).
'God' is referring to a supreme being while 'god' which is synonymous with 'idol' simply means an object of worship (adoring reverence or regard.) which can be anything. So technically gathering together to celebrate 'life' as stated in the video, makes 'life' their god, this doesn't make them any less atheist on the idea of a supreme being.
