What was the official state religion of Japan during World War 2?
I think it was Shinto but I'm not quite sure. "I think it was Shinto but I'm not quite sure." So wrote the previous poster. You think? You're not sure? Why did you even bother to answer? The answer is too complex for a one-liner, but the religion of Japan was and still is predominantly Shinto. There was a State Shinto in place during World War II, but Japan was not a theocracy - indeed, it had separation of church and state written into its constitution. State Shinto was a politicized Shinto, used to underpin and justify Japan's nationalism and attitudes of racial superiority. So the answer to the question is not clear cut. Shinto was not to Japan as Islam is to, say, Saudi Arabia today. Still Shinto was adapted and selectively interpreted by the state to support the militarist government's agendas and to manipulate and control public opinion. If you want a real understanding, you need to do some deeper research. It will be worth it. You ask a good question and deserve a better answer.
Main religions in japan?
Most Japanese are atheists. They used to worship their emperor, but that ended after they lost the War. Still in use are Shinto, Buddhism and Confucianism with some Taoists and a smattering of Christians. The first four are not mutually exclusive, so you could say the largest faith is "cafeterianism."

How is Shintoism a religion?
Shinto is an animistic religion that found its basis on sun-worship and ancestor-worship. Since the Emperor of Japan is thought to have descended from the sun goddess, Amaterasu, he is worshiped as sacred in Shinto lore. There are many gods and goddesses, and many types of spirits, or 'kami' that are respected. The religion has actually evolved a lot over time. There used to be things like rules for disposing of dolls and shoes and other inanimate objects, because if you disposed of them improperly they would usually sprout spirits and come and kill you or harass you. Shinto is the basis of a lot of Japan's creation myths, such as the god Izanagi standing on the bridge to heaven, the Amanohashidate (a land bridge that is one of the three most scenic places in Japan) and dipping his spear into the sea; the brine that dripped off of it creating the islands of Japan. (The bridge later fell to earth when he and his wife Izanami were...um...using it...vigorously) Shinto is still really important in Japan, even if the people aren't crazy religious the way that western cultures understand 'religious.' Even Japanese people who follow other religions participate in Shinto festivals and go to Shinto shrines, simply because it's considered such an intrinsic part of their culture. Most Japanese people are a mixture of Shinto and Buddhist. Shinto rituals mostly deal with life, and Buddhist rituals mostly deal with death, (at least the style of Buddhism popular here) so it mixes well. I hope this answers your question. If you want more information, Wikipedia is a good thing.
