If i marry a Japanese man must i convert to Shinto?

Okay, so i like Japanese men alto, and if i ever marry one should i convert to Shinto? i love Japanese culture and respect it greatly and i wanna move to Japan and get married to a Japansese man or woman (I'm bi) and have Japansese babies named Deidara Sasori and Sasuke Itachi. Please help i wanna know if i should convert to his/her Shinto religion or should he?

If you are so interested in Japanese and their culture, don't you want to include their religion in your life?

Shinto is more of a "doing" then a "believing". So no, but also yes, if he wants to use a lot of Japanese cultural things in his life. Holidays and such.

the Japanese look down on interracial mar rages but do what you want and yes you do have to convert to Shinto

First, you don't *have* to convert to anything.

Second, just because someone is Japanese doesn't mean they belong to a particular religion. You might fall in love with a Japanese Jew, or Christian, or atheist. In any case, you don't have convert regardless of what your husband or wife believes.

As if any one else could tell you what would make you happy .

OMG, you are such a cliche.

No, you don't.

No---!

You can marry a Japanese provided you both are prepared to live without any religion. Humanity must be your religion.

Only if he is Shinto.
Research his family history.
Are there Ainu ancestors on either Mother Son or Papa Son bloodline?
If so, according to folk lore, you will be very happy and blessed.

Shinto isn't a religion you "convert" to. If you live your life according to Shinto tenets, you are Shintoist. Shinto holds that the gods of other religions are just another Kami, so it's no problem to worship them.

Unlike Western religions, Shinto doesn't see the world in just black and white. Instead there are many co lours and shades of gray.
