"There are a lot of people who do not believe in religion or a way out."
Most Japanese have kept their religion in mind until a few dacades ago. There were natural religious objects or gods, and people practiced rituals or festivities. Every household had their alter and
people enshrined their ancestors. They believed that they would become gods in the shrines or become holy spirits after their death.
People nowadays live away from their relatives. After World WarU, religion was not taught in schools, and we did not regard religion as very important.
People tended to lose their spiritual foundation and they became materialistic.
Now almost all the Japanese people seem to live without religion. This phenomenon cannot be see in any other nation.In addition, there are many in Japan who are easily brain-washed by extreme beliefs and become violent and destroy their sense of self.
