i'm a shintoist in japan, it's basically quite different from christianty.  shinto has multiple deities(or parts of one extreme existence); they live with us; you will be one after death; they also train themselves to get mentally higher.  we also have "seances," the number is rare, though. they get possessed with our ancestors, and we are allowed to talk with them.  of course we can get information that the "seances" themselves cannot have known before.

Take a look at China sometime.  China is almost entirely atheist.\n\nIf things in the US don't start changing, you'll probably be pledging allegiance to their flag pretty soon.  :)  I'd say they're doing alright for themselves.

I am in Bath, England and I can tell you, the main religion in this country is Christian (Prosestant), with a large number of Catholics also. We also have a massive Islamic community, particularly in the cities. The other religions you see here are Hebrew, Buddist (particularly in the South and London) and Jewish.\n\nHope this helps!

I totally agree with youi.  It is completely unfair.  Why arent there Shinto doctrines in the government?  OR Islamic or HIndu or Buddhist or COnfusiousan or whatever you know.  \n\nI am not attacking Christians and I know you arent either.

It is sometimes difficult for westerners to understand Shintoism because it is very Japanese in nature. In this sense it doesn't have a specific definition, it is more of a way of knowing or being.\nShinto is a very ancient religion and can be described as polytheistic animism. This means it has many Gods which often symbolize different aspects of nature or even specific locations such as Mt. Fuji. To make it clear how Shinto is different from the western ideas of religion consider that there is no definite text, church or code of practice. Some elements of shintoism are the passing on of myths, reverence for nature, worship or prayerful remembrance of ancestors and paying homage to a variety of nature based Gods.\nTo answer your question, Shinto is not primarily concerned with the afterlife but there are some Shinto based books in history which describe realms of being which occur after one dies.\nMost Japanese people practice a combination of Shintoism and Buddhism. Of the two, Buddhism is more structured and offers more concrete ways of practice and philosophy.

It is common for people to practice Shinto in life yet have a Buddhist funeral. Their different perspectives on the afterlife are seen as complementing each other\n\nThe afterlife is not a primary concern in Shinto; much more emphasis is placed on fitting into this world, instead of preparing for the next. Shinto has no binding set of dogma, no holiest place for worshippers, no person or kami deemed holiest, and no defined set of prayers. Instead, Shinto is a collection of rituals and methods meant to mediate the relations of living humans and kami.\n\nWhenever a child is born in Japan, a local Shinto shrine adds the child's name to a list kept at the shrine and declares him or her "Ujiko", literally named child. After death an "Ujiko" becomes an "Ujigami"; literally, named kami.

about 6.5 Billion... I don't know the actual percentages but over half follow Islam... the next largest would be Catholicism followed closely by Christianity.

To answer your questions in order:\n\nYes, there are private schools that teach religion. Although it is not the sort of situation that happens in the US.\n\nThey teach either or both. Shinto only schools are very very rare.\n\nThere are Catholic schools in Japan, run by nuns. But 99% of students are not Christian, and there are very few religious activities.\n\nA lot of preschools/kindergartens are run in temples. Japanese religions are not at all like Christianity, so instead of "religious" teachings, there is more focus on being a good person, etc. There is also pressure put on showing respect to elders and ancestors. \n\nSo, while there are religion affiliated schools, they are nothing like a religious school in the US.
