As there's a number of places in the thread I could hang this message
off, but I can't decide which is best, I'll bung it here:

I've been looking for something like this for ages!

Q3: Can we infer 27% of Japanese are atheist and 10% agnostic?

Q6: I'm glad to see only 12% believe in horoscopes!

Q7: But, when asked if a believer less than 30% say they are. I
suppose this is how many people are "active" worshippers?

religion(s)/system(s) of belief choose on the whole Buddhism.

Q10/SQ: Finally, we find out only 8.8% are members of a congregation!
And Christianity outdoes Shinto by over 3 to 1!
