Is the internet so void of knowledge that you actually have to come to a web forum where mostly ani-nerds etc congregate to talk about their favorite cartoons and j-bands, in order to find your answer to a question that, quite frankly, feels overly ignorant for a modern day student? Since they are not blowing themselves up in planes anymore, i would say that your second question holds a little more validity, and I would probably agree with MMM, that the notion of the emperor being god was buried at the end of WW2.
