The numbers for religion in Japan are very hard to nail down. This is due to the japanese considering religion the same as their culture. One might consider themselves as non-religious, but go to Shintoist temples or practice Buddism in their own way.

The ball park percentage tenativly is about 90% are classified religious, although about 60% say they are in fact irreligious. Very complicated, as you can see.
