Buddhism and shinto

Answer:

This is complicated and depends on what you count as religious affiliation. Many Japanese are "officially" related to a religion because of historic family traditions. On this basis figures that state 84% to 96% of Japanese adhere to Shinto and Buddhism. However when asked directed the majority deny any religious affiliations. 70% of Japanese profess no religious membership and 84% of the Japanese claim no personal religion. Only 15%t reported any formal religious affiliation in a recent census and 64% state that they do not believe in God, and 55% do not believe in Buddha. Some 70% to 80% do not consider themselves believers in any religion.
