Odd...according to Wiki 83% of Japanese practice Shinto.[QUOTE="MattDistillery"]
Acording to Google 84% claim no personal religion and 64% do not believe in any god.

Numbers based on Birth records, Theres a certain element of cultural aswell I mean for a 83% shinto country 50% of weddings are chrisitan based white weddings and most funerals are buddhist. For example I call myself protestant when asked in Ireland because there asking which of the islands two cultures I come from the Orange or the Green and will have that type of wedding and funeral.
My firewall doesn't let me use links on this site but if you click on afew of the top google links after typing "Religion in Japan" its fairly evident that around 70% simply believe in nothing.
