Shinto: 4 million * This number states the number of actual self-identifying practising primary followers of Shinto.

Zoroastrianism: 150,000-250,000,[11][12][13][14] as substantiated by the detailed discussion sections at adherents.com[15][16], although in its top-level overview list the same source provides a substantially different estimate.[e] The breakdown by major communities is as follows: * In India (the Parsis): est. 65,000 (2001 India Census: 69,601); Estimate of Zoroastrians of Indian origin: 100,000-110,000. * In Iran: est. 20,000 (1974 Iran Census: 21,400) I Hate all religions, the have -_- up everything.
