We don't have our religion in Japan!? Japan has so many temples and shrines including many events and festivals of a religious nature, so it might seem obvious that they are religious. In my opinion, however, actually Japanese people are spiritual rather than religious. They don’t believe in God. Yet they go in droves to shrines during Obon and New Year. Prayers write on votive tablets at shrines on the eve of important exams, Coming-of-Age Day, a job interview or in the quest for a suitable husband or wife. In many ways, Japanese people treat religions (domestic and foreign) the same way as they do with fads and traditions from overseas - borrow, adapt and use aspects when it is necessary or convenient. A good example of this is the popularity of “Christian style” weddings in churches and hotel chapels. Even though they may not be very knowledgeable about other religions, Japanese are very respectful of them. It has become such a deep part of their culture, so They don’t see this as religion anymore :(
