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?

When people don't have murder, homeless, ramped theft, they need some boogie man metric for the crier to report on.

And for Japan, the marginally higher suicide rate along with low population growth are it.

Of course the low rate of Christianity as well.

Here's another in case you didn't know. People always talk about working in Japan to be brutal and constantly work long hours the entire week.

Data says otherwise. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country

Portugal would like to know Japan's location. And keep it a secret from other countries for years.

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.
