Japanese religion


 


In Japan, there are various religions including Shintoism, Buddhism 1, and Christianity. The breakdown 2 is as follows:


Shintoists 104,550,000


Buddhists 4 95,110,000


Christians 5   1,760,000


Other religions 11,210,000


Total:    212,630,000


Statistically 6 speaking, the number of believers if twice as large as Japan’s total population, but this is because many households worship both Shintoist and Buddhist 3 gods.


You may find it strange to learn that when you ask Japanese what religion they belong to , the most common answer will be, “I don’t have a religion.”However, if you ask them what sect 7 they belong to, they will give you a specific answer such as jodoshusect or Sodoshu-sect.


Unlike Christians, Shintoists and Buddhists do not have the custom of going to worship services on a weekly basis, and so they are considered non-religions. However, a large portion lf the population does visit shrines 8 and temples during New Years. Japanese traditionally pay respect to their ancestors, and in the past it was common for every home to have both a small family shrines for worshiping the gods of Buddhism and Shintoism. The falling apart of the nuiclear family in modern times has spelled the end to this custom..


 


日本有神道、佛教、基督教以及其它宗教。各个宗教的信徒数如下:


神道 10455万人


佛教 9511万人


基督教 176万人


其他 1121万人


合计21263万人


根据这个数字,信徒总数似乎是日本总人口的两倍,这是因为有些家庭既信奉神道也信奉佛教。


奇怪的是,当你问日本人他们信什么教时,最通常的回答是“我不信教”。但是如果你问他们的宗教是什么,得到的回答往往是“净士宗”或“曹洞宗”。


和基督教不同,神道和佛教没有每周去教堂祈祷的习惯,所以这些教徒往往被认为无宗教。但是,正月里去神社或寺庙参拜的人很多。日本人是祖先崇拜的民族,过去每家都有佛坛和神龛。现在,随着独生子女家庭增多,这种习惯也逐渐消失了。
