I actually try to look for more information on Google and well...seems that information is either sparse or not really available in English.

In fact, the top result when one types "Sintua religion" is this thread. sweat.gif

Is it known by another name in English? If not, perhaps you might want to start a wiki entry?

Or does one of the entries here accurately describe your beliefs? If so, which one?

Chinese folk religion/Shenism is exactly what it is.

'Sintua' (this is a Hokkien phrase; it is 'shen tan'/神坛 in Mandarin) is the term for the shrine-based worship commonly associated with the faith.

Ah, so that article itself is the correct one. Thanks.
