What is japans most used religion?
Of what the Western world calls religions, the two most popular in Japan are Shintoism and Buddhism. But most Japanese don't actually consider themselves "religious." I've never been in Japan myself, but I'm under the impression that Shintoism and Buddhism are actually very difficult to separate from each other as well as from atheism in Japan. Also, some don't even classify Shintoism as a religion but as something more along the lines of a set of traditional customs, etc. In addition, Shintoism itself is hard to define because it's a broad, overarching term for the worship of various local gods (who have their own local shrines). But how they're worshiped changes from god to god and place to place. As for Buddhism, although there are many different types, many don't consider Buddha a god but a teacher. And some don't consider nirvana a place but a state of mind. So it gets very muddled.
