			=== Religion ===
			The dominant religions in Japan are Shinto (the native polytheistic religion of the country) and [[Buddhism]]. Shinto practices are deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. Most Japanese practice both of these religions at the same time. As of 2021, 48.6% of Japanese claim to practice Shinto, 46.4% Buddhism, 1.1% [[Christianity]], and 4% "others." The number of Japanese claiming to follow any religion at all has been declining.<ref>{{Web citation\|author=Aaron O'Neill\|title=Japan: Religious affiliations in 2021\|newspaper=Statistica\|url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/237609/religions-in-japan/\|date=2024-08-30}}</ref>
