The aim of this research was to examine the possibility of religion in the disaster (Hanshin Great Earthquake)-stricken areas which are on their way to resurgence. The outcome of the research so far is as follows.It comes to be clear that Shintoism, Buddhism, Christianity and New Religions accompanying rigid (bureaucratic) organizations can not make contribution to the revival of the striken areas any more. Because those religious orders, on the whole, have dealt with the individual problems of the adherents exclusively, so they did not (could not) broaden their outlook on the community and every people (including their adherents) living there. Tenri-kyo, for example, tried to widen its sphere of influence beyond its territory and, as a result, reached a deadlock. It is sure that there has been the anti-religious atmosphere among the sufferers.However, it is not necessarily true that almost all forms of religion are rejected thoroughly by the sufferers. Many sufferers wished that the p … More ropitiation of the dead souls be done through the religious rituals. And, this research indicated that there was invented a pilgrimage in the striken areas, which suggests that the sufferers made use of a religious equipment to recover themselves. Moreover, this research paid much attention to the notion of the other world which children had, and made it clear that they have tried to recover the peace of mind by referring to the other world, because they have to deal with the unfamiliar concept 'death' to them.Now we can not help concluding that the sufferers have thought little of the organized religion on the one hand, and that they have accepted and utilized the diffused religion which does not put on its (organizational) armor on the other. It is sure that, in a society at a crisis, religion has a possibility to restore the damaged society. However, not organizational and institutional religion, but non-organizational and non-institutional religion, that is to say, diffused (folk) religion, could make much contribution. Less

本研究的目的是探讨宗教在坂神大地震灾区复兴的可能性。研究结果表明，神道教、佛教、基督教以及伴随着僵化（官僚）组织的新教势力已不能再为灾区的复兴做出贡献。因为这些宗教秩序，在整体上，已经处理了信徒的个人问题，所以他们没有（不能）扩大他们对社区和生活在那里的每一个人（包括他们的信徒）的看法。例如，天理教试图将其势力范围扩大到其领土之外，结果陷入僵局。可以肯定的是，在受难者中存在着反宗教的气氛，但并不一定所有形式的宗教都被受难者彻底拒绝。许多患者希望P ...更多信息 通过宗教仪式来复活死者的灵魂。而且，这项研究表明，在罢工地区发明了朝圣，这表明受害者利用宗教设备来恢复自己。此外，本研究还关注了儿童对另一个世界的概念，并表明他们试图通过提及另一个世界来恢复心灵的平静，因为他们必须处理对他们来说陌生的“死亡”概念。现在我们不得不得出结论，受害者一方面对有组织的宗教不屑一顾，他们接受并利用了没有在另一个人身上穿上（组织）盔甲的扩散宗教。可以肯定的是，在一个处于危机中的社会，宗教有可能恢复受损的社会。然而，不是有组织的、制度化的宗教，而是非组织的、非制度化的宗教，也就是说，民间的宗教，才有可能做出贡献。少
