You should read my answer in your "Buddhism" question, cause it'd be the same as I'd post here.

Alright, I am a believer in Shinto, and I was once a Christian zealot. I mean no offense to anyone by what I have to say, but what I will say is the truth of my beliefs.
Shinto acknowledges many gods, spirits, and other divine beings, they are not surprised, or offended by foreign gods. Shinto too, has prophets, priests, and divine beings that could be on par with angels, Jesus, and others. You must realize that Jesus was not the only man to do incredible things, and Christianity is not the only religion where there are miracles. Jesus was a great man of peace, but truthfully, I prefer to have the spirits and gods of Shinto at my back, as they are much kinder, and will not damn you for having another religion. Jesus was a good man, and so that I will not cause a great argument, I will humbly state that the actions of the chosen in my religion are also great, and they were not the children of god, they were people who deserved it for their kindness, and that they deserved to be blessed. I hold no hatred for Christians, but I fear they do not see the grander scale of things as I have.
Peace and love.

They wouldn't have any idea, but they would probably politely nod at a proselytizer and walk away.
