The Samurai came from different backrounds, Shintoism, Bhuddhism, etc but the main religion and code the Samurai followed was called BUSHIDO.
Shinto, which is the native religion of Japan. But samurai followed teachings of buddha too. After 1500 many japanese converted to Christianity, including samurai.

Culture, religion, or maybe intimidation on the battle field would be my guesses. Or beliefs, but that would go with culture.
bushido or the warrior cod is the code of the samurai
well
samurai is not a religion. its a way of life, following Bushido, it's code of conduct. you're basically asking what was the chivalry religion for kids.

Shinto and Buddhism, Both are crucial parts to the Japanese Identity
Samurai in Japan predominantly practiced a form of Buddhism known as Zen Buddhism, which emphasized meditation and self-discipline. Some samurai also followed Shinto, the indigenous Japanese religion that involves rituals and reverence for kami (spirits). Additionally, Confucianism had an influence on samurai ethics and the way they conducted themselves in society.
" Bushido" which is their code of honor, it was the religion of the samurai.
== == there were two main religions that the samurai followed.SHINTO: this was the indigenous religion of Japan. It involved the worshipping of all the deities of Heaven and Earth, etc.ZEN BUDDHISM: this was the religion that the vast majority of samurai followed.Buddhism in a basic form was passed to Japan by a Korean King, when the scriptures intrigued the Japanese sovereign he wanted to know more about this religion. Monks would eventually be sent to China in order to bypass too much influence from the Koreans who they consistently squabbled with. Buddhism was then further developed by including Confucian and Daoist principles picked up from China.Zen Buddhism was popular with the samurai as it contained the three basic principles of the way of the samurai (discipline, focus and a simple way of life)
It is all about you making sacrifices to your religion to show that you are a true samurai....and that may involve having to sacrifice your own life. Even though you would die, you would be remembered.

There was no true "religion of the Samurai." Different Samurai adhered to different beliefs. Shinto was perhaps the most popular of these religions, but you have to take into account that Shinto incorporates many aspects of Buddhism into it's belief system. Within the "umbrella" of Buddhism were several different sects. Nichiren, Tendai and Zen sects were all popular among the Samurai as well. Christianity also made an appearance among the Samurai. This didn't really grab a foothold in Japan until the end of the 16th century.
