Religion is the spiritual product of human society and the most essential reflection on the spiritual world of a nation. When Christianity was introduced into Japan in the 16th century, it had a tremendous impact for a long time. At the same time, its development has also undergone a bumpy process. In the sturdy Japanese religious structure that consists of the Buddhas, Christianity was regarded as a heresy exiled from the religion. In addition, the influence of “civil religion” at that time made it more difficult for Christianity to infiltrate into the lives of citizens. This paper explores the early development history of Christianity and introduces the strong “civil religion” in modern Japan. Then a comparative analysis to explore the confrontation relationship between Christianity and “civil religion” is conducted.
