Oh great. I just lost a tiny bit of love towards Japan. ):

I'd still love to go there, though. But I'm sick of religion. That's where all the problems start.

There still aren't many Christians in Japan, though... Christians are a serious minority in Japan.

Huh. That actually sounds like a really good way to live... Just taking bits and pieces from different religions and not being a hardcore follower.

I wouldn't worry too much. Just because Christianity is on the rise in the land of the rising sun, I doubt that means there's a bunch of slightly overweight Japanese men with guitars and combovers singing in the streets about how cool Jesus is.

I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not, for everyone's sake. And like some others said, it's a minority over there, not like the majority stateside.

I heard the number of Mormons is increasing in Japan because they have some many damn missionaries there.

Hello.
I am a Japanese.
About the Japanese religion, probably it is an ancient Roman to do the understanding that is deeper than you(Monotheism).

The Shinto is polytheism, and Buddhism is philosophy.
Roman believed in gods of Rome and discussed Greek philosophy.
They may easily understand outlook on Japanese religion.

And the Japanese avoids Christianity like a Roman disliked Christianity.
This is because it is convinced that it is an obstinate superstition.

Christ is one of them in the polytheism for a Japanese.

Japan has proverb.

"God left me and different God came"

You're a straight up Communist,saying there can't be Christians in Japan. They wouldn't want you to go and live there,that's for sure.

I have to say,I'm amazed by this lightning censorship of religious discussion.

And you're a straight up idiot replying to a comment made over 3 years ago....
