Japan has never known the domination of any single religio-philosophical tradition. Historically, different religions have flourished side by side in Japanese society. In addition, the tendency to form new sects appears to be characteristic of Japan's religious enterprise, both past and present. Despite extensive governmental pressures, new sects continued to proliferate in post-Meiji Japan. Those sects which were not branches of established, recognized religions, existed precariously indeed before 1945, and were often harassed by the police if their policies were believed to be in opposition to State Shinto and then-acknowledged standards of patriotism
