most of it has just portrayed a load of gnostic garbled nonsense in a positive light.... Yes it's satanic. A tonne of it is. Pretending the stuff that's satanic isn't satanic is also giving the liars power.
The ignorance of what happens when culture is exported continues on unabated. This is no different than second-generation immigrant neomarxists who grew up in America bitching about how we're copying their glorious homeland's food culture incorrectly.
To my knowledge the bulk of Japan's interaction with Christianity is either through Jesuits (which went down badly more than once) and post-Meiji injection through US cultural exportation. There's not enough Japanese people who are willing to be experts on the religion to make absolutely sure that they're representing it right, nor do I see them do that frequently with anything that's from outside their culture. They just read about it some, then make their own interpretation of it through their fiction.
