THE SYNTHETIC STUDY OF THE JAPANESE RELIGIOUS CONSCIOUSNESS AND ATTITUDES

本研究的目的是对日本人的宗教意识和态度进行综合民意调查。宗教研究学者自二战以来从未做过民意调查，我们所做的调查对象是日本人对宗教团体的意识和态度。1995年，OUM-SHINEIKYO成为恐怖分子。许多日本人对恐怖主义感到震惊，对宗教团体持反感态度。所以我们要衡量现状。我们所做的民意调查也包含了日本人的宗教意识和态度问题，我们发现了三个问题。首先，大多数日本人对宗教团体表现出强烈的反感。这种趋势越来越强烈。第二个大多数日本人不做宗教事务。例如，去神社，去寺庙，教堂附近的集市等等。我们发现大多数日本人不知道具体的宗教团体。但对宗教团体的反感却相当强烈，最后我们发现了大众传媒对日本人的强大影响。

This project has done with the object of taking a public opinion poll on a matter of Japanese religious consciousness and attitudes synthetically. Scholors on religious study have never taken the public opinion poll since the world war II.The target we took is the Japanese consciousness and attitudes toward religious bodies. In 1995 OUM-SHINEIKYO acted a terrorism. Many Japanese were shocked by the terrorism and held the antipathy against the religious bodies. So we want to measure the present state. The public opinion poll we took also contains the matter of the Japanese religious consciousness and attitudes.We found three matters. First of all most Japananese showed strong anipathy against religious bodies. This tendency has been getting strong. For the second. most Japanese didn't do the religious matters. For example, going shrines, going temples, bazzar by churches etc. We found that most japanese didn't know concrete religious bodies. But the antipathy against religious bodies are quite strong.At last we found the strong effect of massmedia over the Japanese.
