    To be fair there is also the suicide rate.

    Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?

      First time I’ve actually taken the time to look it up. People talk about Japans high suicide rate but apparently it’s not that much higher than the United States? So less murder, more food availability and just a slightly higher suicide rate?

      They probably just saw Silence and think it’s a result of the persecution of Christians back in the 1600s.

      To those prepared to reply with “but that’s not what it is”, I’m not saying it is.
