Once again, religion is not a big thing in Japan. Many Japanese will consider themselves to be nonreligious. Many others who profess to be Buddhist or Shinto simply attend buddhist/shinto festivals or celebrate holidays just out of tradition. Many buddhist or shinto Japanese often get married at Christian churches... but they're not Christian at all
. If you're looking for a Christian church in Japan, you will find some. However, like I said before, religion shouldn't be a really big concern in Japan, because really, no one gives a darn about religion in Japan anymore.
You gotta stop believing in everything you've read or 'researched' on the internet is true. Statistically, many people in Japan would
appear to be religious, but they're really not.
