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.
