The Japanese have no fear of religion. Religious object can be found in many public locations on public grounds. Whereas in the USA such placement of religious articles causes many fit to be tied crying “separation of church and state.” An hallucinated concept into the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The Pilgrims traveled from Europe to North America to escape religious persecution and enjoy religious freedom in 1620. Some four hundred years later if Americans want to enjoy those same religious freedoms, they would have to travel to Japan.
The term “separation of church and state” cannot be found anywhere in the United States Constitution as written at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, attended by 55 delegates. The First Amendment to the Constitution reads in part,
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;…..”
The term “separation of church and state,” was taken from a letter President Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802. Here is a link to the text of that letter:

It should be noted Thomas Jefferson was not one of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention, he was in France when the Constitution was being written.
President George Washington who was a delegate to that Convention deeply believed in God and the relationship with such belief in government, as he wrote,
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.”
John Adams believed morality could not exist without religion. In a speech to the military in 1798, he claimed, “our Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people.”
Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1815: "religion, as well as reason, confirms the soundness of those principles on which our government has been founded and its rights asserted."
