What is the population of different religions in Japan?

According to a 2018 survey by the Japanese government, the religious makeup of Japan is as follows:

Religion | Percentage of Population

---------|---------

Shinto | 84.3%

Buddhism |10.1%

Christianity |1.5%

Other religions |0.7%

Non-religious |3.4%

Other religions include Islam (0.2%), Hinduism (0.1%), Sikhism (0.1%), and Judaism (0.1%).

Non-religious includes atheists, agnostics, and people who did not answer the question.

Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan and emphasizes the reverence for nature and ancestor worship. Shinto shrines are found throughout Japan and are often dedicated to specific kami, or spirits.

Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China in the 6th century and has since become the second-largest religion in the country. There are many different schools of Buddhism in Japan, each with its own unique teachings and practices.

Christianity was introduced to Japan by Portuguese traders in the 16th century. However, it did not gain a significant following until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when the ban on Christianity was lifted. Today, there are a number of Christian churches and organizations in Japan.

Other religions practiced in Japan include Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism. These religions have relatively small followings in Japan, but they are all recognized as legitimate religions by the government.

The religious landscape of Japan is constantly changing. As the country becomes more globalized, it is increasingly likely that new religious groups will be introduced to the country. It is also possible that the percentage of non-religious people will continue to grow. Only time will tell how the religious landscape of Japan will evolve in the future.
