The following section comes from the Christianity paragraph: " Portuguese traders were already active in Kagoshima since 1943,[53] welcomed by local daimyo because they imported gunpowder. Anijirō, a Japanese convert, helped the Jesuits understanding Japanese culture and translating the first Japanese catechism.[54]
These missionaries were successful in converting large numbers of people in Kyushu, including paesants, former Buddhist monks, and members of the warrior class.[55] In 1559, a mission to the capital, Kyoto, was started.[56] By the following year there were already nine churches, and the Christian community grew steadily in the 1560s"
So should the 1943 be changed to 1493? - Bramvr ( talk) 09:46, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I do not speak Japanese, so forgive me if I am wrong, but I noticed that the pie chart's date seems to be wrong. I journied over to the source, because I wanted to see it for myself for a paper I'm working on, and I noticed that there is a contradiction. The top of the census says: "2000年," and at the very bottom of the page, however, it says "Added... 2006." I could be mistaken, but to the best I could tell, the census is from 2000, but the person added the information was uploaded to the source by a third party in the year of 2006. Forgive me if I am wrong.

The kami are not the one centralized god-creator of the Universe, neither their
personhood is as partonizing as for example the Abrahamic god.
(personhood is important to mention here, because personhood is about the definition of the person; not personality which focuses mainly on the particularities of the individual - we should study deeple the "personhood of kami" or the "degree of personhood" but degree of personhood is a different subject) — Preceding

Thus many Japanese who are
irreligious don't have enough motivation to be declared antispiritualists.
We have to mention that.
Some (but not all) Japanese are conceited. They focus on the blurriness of some Shinto texts, on the fact that kami is not the one universal creator, and on the fact that kami aren't as partonizing as the Islamic, Christian or other gods.
This isn't a
metalogically deep reason to avoid strong atheism if your reasoning leads you there.
The Japanese don't show proper respect to pure nothingness and stict antimathematicality/antispirituality.
Not all Japanese have a single opinion. Few are true atheists.
As a society they don't show respect towards pure nothingness and pure atheism.
That's a problem of their own.
They should stop blaming the non patronizing weakness and non universal centrality of the kami.
Respecting something doesn't mean you have to agree.
They (as a society) don't show respect towards pure nothingness and pure atheism.
Not all Japanese are male, old or artists. Many different characters exist.
We shouldn't blame individuals, instead the Japanese society.
I would like to eventually explain Pure land Buddhism is different from JodoShu(Pure land Buddhism is called Jodo-Kyo here in Japan),When I find an English source.(I know an American Buddhist who believes pure land Buddhism,who's texts are not availableHard to find unlike common Buddhism text in Japan)Give me some time until I find them.

The figures showing the breakdown of religious practice in Japan flatly contradict each other. The NHK data seems to be at odds with the other sources stated at the top. If it's an outlier it should but be placed so prominently or, if not, they're should at least be an mention of the divergence of the graphs in their captions. 24.185.137.174 ( talk) 00:01, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, can you please fix the pie chart of the percentage of shinto its percentage is more higher than 3%. Can you help fix it to its proper percentage please ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.150.13.206 ( talk) 01:53, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
The pie chart at the start of the article seems wildly inaccurate - it shows the percentage of people practising Shinto as 3%..? ElleBlair ( talk) 21:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
