【演講簡介】
Traditional perspectives on religion often emphasize affiliation as a key source of individual beliefs, with these beliefs in turn guiding religious practices. In this view, people are taught what is considered right by religious authorities, and belief naturally leads to practice. However, in Japan, religious and cultural practices appear to be largely independent of formal affiliation. Individuals often engage in religious practices without strong belief, and belief can exist without formal belonging. This raises the question: where do these religious behaviors and beliefs come from?
In this talk, we propose that cultural practices embedded in daily life are central to understanding the structure of Japanese religiosity. To test this hypothesis, we compare two competing models: a behavior-based model and a belief-based model.
