Why Shintoism and Buddhism coexist as Japan's two major religions How is this possible?
As strange as it seems not every religion is at odds with every other religion. A good example are the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and islam) where some proponents seem to be anxious to "overcome" the other two. Even without the division between religions as us and them there is also a sectarian schism in many religions where groups like Catholics and Protestants or Sunni and Shi'a are always at odds.Members of Abrahamic faiths probably see that as normal and view the coexistence of Buddhism and Shintoism as abnormal. It also could be that the japanese are generally secular with religious "members" being the counting of people as belonging to religions that their ancestors belonged to, not what they actually practice.

How is it possible that Shintoism and Buddhism coexist as Japan's two major religions?
Opinion: Buddhism is a Philosophy of Ending Suffering and does not require worshiping any Deities. Shintoism is a polytheistic and animistic religion. Combining the two makes follower of his/her religion a better adherent and tolerant of other faith.NovaNet --> Shinto is a more flexible religion, so it doesn't conflict with Buddhism.
Who are being worshiped in animism?
In itself animism doesn't worship anything, it is merely a belief that everything has a spirit or soul, but animism exists in other religions such as Hinduism, Shinto and other pagan religions which normally have Gods who are worshipped.
