what is the number and percentage of Americans that practice Shinto? what is the number and percentage worldwide of people who practice Shinto?

i need this for a world religion project at school! i really need help! this project counts as 1/5 my final grade! i have tried a lot of sites but there was no percentage or there was no numbers! thanks for taking the time to help!

less than 1%

That's because it's such a small percent it is usually just in the "other" category.

I found a chart that breaks it down by continent

Shinto is basically a religion of Japanese culture and no one who is not Japanese practices it. One website I read called it a religion of "Japanese-Nessa".

Shinto today has about 119 Million adherents in Japan [3], although a person who practices any manner of Shinto rituals may be considered Shinto, there is some debate as to the actual numbers. It is generally accepted that the vast majority of Japanese people are Shinto. This same number may also be considered Buddhist and neither faith has exclusivity within their dogma. Most people in Japan are both by practice.

There are Shinto shrines outside Japan today: Austrailia and United States among others.
