What is the religon of Japan?

Answer 1

Shintoism, and Jido Shinsu Buddhism. Shintoism is an animist religion, tied into the founding of Japan and the imperial house. For those who identify as Buddhist rather than Shinto, they mostly align with the Jodo Shinsu sect, part of the pure land Buddhist school of Mahayana Buddhism. However, Japan is a secular nation, with the religion being viewed as a kind of good luck practice rather than guiding their lives. The equivalent of reading your horoscope, you would perform a little buddist rite or donate to a Shinto shrine for good fortune, not truly believing in it.
