Good point on negative/positive portrayals. Given Japan\'s overwhelming atheistic majority, and the consequentially exotic nature of religion, if Christianity even crosses a Japanese creator\'s mind it\'ll generally be in a positive way. American atheists are more likely to be hostile to Christianity because the US is at its core (more so than in its government) a Christian nation, so American atheists are exposed to Christian views far more frequently. Familiarity often breeds contempt, after all.

American atheists are more likely to have a positive view of religions that are more exotic to them, like Buddhism and Islam. Just as Christianity is more exotic to the Japanese and thus they\\\'ll view it in a fairly positive light.
