Do you know what's on the picrel? That's right, it's a picture of Jesus. During the Shogunate, Jap officials made peasants step on such pictures (called "fumi-e") to prove that they are not Christians. Whoever didn't consent to trample our Lord's image would be taken to Nagasaki prison for tortures, or burnt alive on the spot.

They didn't, they're survived and are still around. They only did marginally better than the romans at stamping them out, in that at least they didn't end up cucked out of their own religion.

that is a fail.

The reason less than 2% of Japan is Christian is less about events 200 years ago, and more about the hyper-rationalistic and materialistic culture we're living in.
