Atsumi Chigirien is a person associated with Secular Shrine Theory
Following the dissolution of the Great Teaching Institute, the Bureau of Shinto Affairs was established, and in 1881, the Shinto priests of the Ise sect, Yoritsune Tanaka and others, and the priest of the Izumo sect, Senge Takatomi, argued over the ritual deity[1] This led to an imperial request to Emperor Meiji.[2] The Jōdo Shinshū side did not stand idly by and watch this chaotic situation, and following Shimaji Makurai, Atsumi Chigirien, Akamatsu Renjo and other theoreticians went out one after another to advise the government to cooperate.[3] It was the successor to Shimaji Makurai's theory that Shinto is not a religion, and the political powers that be were forced to confirm it, and to forbid all religious speech, teaching, and religious acts (such as funeral rites) by priests involved in state ceremonies. This would have completely blocked the way for "Shinto as a religious belief" to become the national religion.[3]
