What is the primary religion there, these days?

Just curious.

Japanese-ism, I think.

And according to Demerath (2001:138), 64% do not believe in God, and 55% do not believe in Buddha.

I would bet it's just not something the majority of them consider important. Passive atheism through lack of interest or relevance to their daily lives.
