About 10% are christians, about 60% have no religion, and the rest are Buddhist or Shinto. They believe in self-determination.

Some Japanese are Christian. Some are Buddhist (and there are different brands with different scriptures to which they turn). Some are Shintoist. Some are nothing. Some are......

As with all religions there are liturgical, scriptural, and social considerations.

As Buddha would undoubtedly say, if pressed, if somebody wants to become a Christian in the midst of this incredible disaster, that's OK ~ whatever he needs to deal with it.

Just to note that Christians and Jews look at the request that the Japanese find Jesus quite differently than do Buddhists, so self flagellation with whips is not needed.
