Education and religion are basically interrelated in that both are concernd to elevate humanity through contributing to the all-round development of man's faculties. The intimate relationship between the two, religion and education, has been lost sight of in our country, since they have both lost their own identity. All the different religions of Japan have lost their inner spirit, have become secularized as they were in pre-modern times, and have invited the suspicion and distrust of those in education. Educators, on the other hand, have given over the idea that education has as its goal the complete formation of man as a person; instead, they have allowed education to come to serve practical or political ends.Properly speaking, religion and education are intimately connected. The former attempts to provide a final solution for man's problems, which spring from his finiteness, through reliance on supernatural transcendence, while the latter with clear under understanding of man's real situation as a being facing anxiety and cleavage between existence and values, strives to form the unified personality, if both, being firmly based on a correct understanding of man, confront the subject of the meaning of human existence and really work for the realization of man, they could cooperate, and while adhering to the twin principles of modern states-religious freedom and separation of religion and politics-could firmly establish their mutual bonds.
