Why is South Korea the only East Asian country with a significant Christian population?

>Christian
Protestants.
>nearly 28%
Holy fuck
don't know
probably something to do with us
That's what I though but Japan was also occupied by the US and the Christian population there is negligible
No it doesn't. Koreans imported protestantism from China in XIX.
Because they are based
i think koreans like us more than japs
they also get circumcised because of us
Korea, Poland and Saudi Arabia, the only cunts which are still in love with you.
Their president is Christian
meanwhile Russians seethe over us while we never think of you
Because the gospel of truth is heavily suppressed.
>we never think of you
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHHHAAHHAHAHA!
China has a few hundred million Christians.
because they need to believe in something while dying out due to being enslaved
weak heart let devils in.
>Christians
Protestants.
yeah I meant citizens
Even citizens - not government - I bet you think about us
Enslaved by who?
>they also get circumcised because of us
Based Vladimir calling out the Pr*testant menace

Since adopting Christianity is a necessary condition for a nation to be called civilized and be an equal partners in world affairs I therefore declare South Korea to be the only civilized worthy East Asian nation.
You don't know a thing, John. That's why socialism is your future. Picrel is Warren supporters.
>EAST ASIA

Christians are the Jews of Japan.

Vietnam used to have lots of Christians, but after the Vietnam War they tended to come to America.

Only the protestants. But there were other Christians in Japan.
>After he arrived at the consulate, he studied Japanese and quickly gained mastery of the language.
>While at the consulate chapel, he converted three Japanese, one of whom, a former samurai and Shinto priest named Sawabe Takuma, had originally come to his home to kill him. After conversion, Sawabe became one of the first Japanese Orthodox priests.
Go back to the 19th century.
At that time, the identity society of Korea was collapsing.
Many of them abandoned Confucianism and believed in Western religions.
And many of those who lost their country by Japan and did independence movement were those who believed in Western religions (The first president who founded Korea was also a Christian.)
When Korea came back to independence, they became an upper class, and they naturally built widespread infrastructure at that time, so Western religions became popular in Korea.
And now, 20% of Koreans believe in Western religion.

>During the Russo-Japanese War, Nicholas stayed in Japan. Those days were very difficult for him. His love for the land of his birth conflicted with his duty as the bishop of Japan to support his faithful and to pray for the Japanese Emperor and the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy: in the orthodox liturgy at that time, priests had to explicitly pray not only benediction on the sovereign and his army, but also for the defeat of his enemies in the intercession. Nicholas therefore did not participate in any public services during the war; instead, he encouraged his Japanese faithful to both pray for and to contribute to the Army and Navy. Some encouraged him to go back to Russia, but he refused and worked eagerly for Japanese faithful and Russian prisoners of war.
>Nicholas sent priests and teachers to camps to educate and care for the captives. His attitude and manners impressed not only the Orthodox faithful but also non-Christians.
>Even Emperor Meiji was impressed with his character, especially his diplomatic efforts.
They really are lmao. Wallah my Korean friend tried converting me to Christianity
Go back to Islamistan.

It can't be helped. Confucianism is dead-end thinking because it reinforces existing social hierarchies even when those hierarchies have ceased to be useful or relevant.
iirc, china's christian population is growing pretty fast
The American political machine is church for vast multitude in this nation. Here is passage in part from book that describes the transformation, the purposeful process of change in country's foreign policy and how its use as tool to distract voting public from real problems at hand: "This passionate attachment to party, little known before the Civil War, had been forged by the Civil War itself. If was as if, in the cauldron of civil strife, every American had been melted down into one or the other of two elementary political particles, one Republican, the other Democrat. To its massed and devoted partisans the party was a church, whose creeds and slogans supplied men with their political principles, whose celebrations supplied them with their holiday outings. To its massed and devoted partisans the party was also a standing army perpetually arrayed for battle, an army whose orders men gladly obeyed, whose rudest tricks its partisans cheered, as patriots will cheer the night raids and ambushes of the nation's fighting men. Identifying themselves with a party, Americans looked on their chosen party as a kind of end in itself; its victories were their victories, its prosperity their prosperity. For themselves they asked little, for the identification with party was strong and passionate." There will be no socialism unless the parties agree upon token reforms as tool to maintain their power.
From 0.00001% to 0.0001%
Don't believe the memes. Its not. The few christians that are there, are becoming more secular.

>originated in Roman empire
>Not Western
You mean like Paul the apostle?
Because they are a former Portuguese overseas territory? Have you heard of Macao? Same thing.
we got Christianity about the same time as you guys did 2bh
The amount of Christian references in Japanese manga and anime is pretty damn large for a country with very little christians. It's weird.
You should get out of your room and join her fag.
It's an exotic foreign religion that seems very morbid from the outside. Not too different from us sensationalizing voodoo back in the 60s and 70s.
You're mistaking our retarded media/government compared to citizens. We really don't give a shit anymore. To me Russians are just the ultimate trolls and I give props to them for that and there crazy antics.
wh*Tes did the same with Buddhism since the 1800s
Are we seriously going to pretend american Protestants are not isis tier?
That's what I assumed since japs love stories with suffering and morbid stuff.
