| Research Abstract |
This project has done with the object of grasping the real state of the membership of Japanese religiousu bodies, especially religious juridical persons.
Often the data of the yearbook of religion published by Ministry of Cultural Affairs to count religious bodies, religious juridical persons, ministries, and members in japanshinto religion. It is a basic data to understand the state of religion in Japan. However this data is not clear because the standard of the membership is rather different according to religious bodies. Some religious bodies count members by person, but others do by household. As a result, the numbers of total members are over two hundred million.
This project inquires each religous juridical persons its definition of the membership, the standard of member ets. In addition, I made 388 tables. Each tables contains religious bodies, religious juridical persons, religious teachers, and members.
It is quite important to ggrasp the accurate numbers of religious bodies, religious juridical persons, and its number of members. These are basic data of scientific study of modern religion. I think We have to get more accurate data.
