Well with Shiite and Sunni those are apart of Islam.And Islam follows the teachings of Muhammad.Sikhism is a sect from Hinduism.And they believe that they should keep their hair covered at all times.Some Sikh kids would join a group for them.And Shinto is a sect of most Chinese religions.They believe that nature is like a christian Jesus.And they do believe in g-d.Shiites and sunnies worship to Allah which is what they believe is one of g-d's names.They worship in a mosque.Sikhism would either worship in a temple, which can be small or a huge temple.Some worship in a Hindu temple.And Shinto would worship in a group or a the big temple in japan.Hindus believe in many gods.And Shintos believe in one g-d.

Shiite and Sunni are sects of Islam, they disagree on who should have inheritied the Islamic caliphate after the seventh generation was not produced. They believe in god, their rules are very complicated and there are alot of them. (No pork, no alchohol, pray 5 times a day, hijab for women)
Sikhism - A fusion of Hinduism and Islam. I don't know much about it.
Shinto: The polytheistic religion of Japan. They worship spirits, or Kami, the chief of which is Ameterasu, the sun goddess, who they believe is the ancestor of their emperor. I am not familiars with their rules.

i'm guessing, the first 3 are Islamic sects. the last is a japanese belief. shinto is polytheist, it believes that every thing has a spirit. sorta like the cartoon by hayao miyazawa "spirited away"?
i'm not sure though

The best way to find out about any of those objectively and without bias is to search on http://www.wikipedia.org
Trust me, they have a lot of useful information.

Works righteousness, works righteousness, works righteousness.
All false religions. Stick with Christiainity: Saved by grace through faith and not by WORKS so no one can boast.
