My rudimentary understanding of religion in Japan is that it aligns pretty well with the general recent global attitude of secularism in daily life, but some attachment to metaphysical religious aspects nonetheless. I guess my main questions are how zealous are shintoism, Buddhism, etc. Advocates in japan? How big of a deal is the Unification Church there? My main exposure to the Unification Church is passing mention in the US and the recent assassination. And how popular is unapologetically open athiesm?

Upon some further thought, I’m damn sure the unification church discussion can’t be summarized in a single reddit thread but I’d at least appreciate the broad strokes and possibly sources to examine it further
People are generally not ideological like in Abrahamic religions. The same goes for atheism. Not many people are passionate about disproving the existence of god(s).
