RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN JAPAN: RESEARCH NEEDS IN HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE

Today Japan is in many ways more religiously free than most Western nations, although levels of religiosity are also comparatively quite low. Key areas for research freedom related research include: the historical causes of Japan's astonishingly rapid turnaround post-World War II from a nation that actively discriminated against minority religious groups to one that supports religious freedom; religious freedom conditions in Japan's prisons and detention facilities; challenges of cultural integration of immigrants bringing greater religious diversity to Japan; faith-based charity and disaster relief; and the small but still worrisome faction of nationalist Japanese who are seeking to reestablish state-sponsored Shintoism.
