I am at odds with the term "god fearing", as I do not think people should "fear" god, but embrace.
However, that said, Bushido was a unwritten code practice at a time when such was practiced within a certain set of moral or behavior obligations. |
I fear anyone that can help a guy kill a 8 foot giant...
But yes Bushido was never anything really religious, most Budoka were buddhists but bushido was never a religion. |
Its more of a result of the overall culture of the region at the time. Buddhism was the popular religion, and some of the concepts and ideals contributed well to the ideals of warriors. So they stuck.
