I know you know that.
I hear much "stronger" (from a western point of view) things said quite often when the topic arises and it's not said with an air of confrontation or negativity even.
That said, I take the "undeveloped" to mean that most people who consider themselves to believe in Shintoism often don't have a solid set of beliefs in common.
Note: As an example, there are heaps of people who consider themselves Shintoist but don't think anything of the Emperor.
