why do so many japanese anime and manga (and LNs/WNs for that matter) have a theme of rebelling against God/heaven
or, even more woke, rebelling against heaven and hell at the same time to make a third way but with humans
Like, with japnese history themes of rebelling against the church make sense, it's just a reflection of their troubles with organized religion in history, but why so much rebelling against the heavens themselves?

Imagine being born as a japanese boy. you'd hate God too
They don't actually know anything about Christianity or Christian culture
sure, but antichurch autism is a reflection of a deep set mistrust of organized religion due to the retardation of organized religion in japanese history, but is there something more cultural that makes them want to rebel against the heavens themselves? can you DO that in japanese belief systems?
Mostly it's a metafor for rebelling against fate, as the fate of most Japanese is dying of overworking by 30 due to unsustainable work tempo.
The Japanese view Christianity the same way we view the Greek or Egyptian gods.
They don't believe in it whatsoever and just pull stuff from it because the mythos is cool.
How would that change anything? Most Yas Forumsnons already hate themselves and their lives.
I'm reminded of a story from my grandfather
>grandpa worked for an oil company
>in the 70s/80s his family was sent over to japan to help with some oil shit
>one of his coworkers was a good ol' boy from the deep south
>very devout baptist
>living in japan
>one of their clients comes to talk to them
>is proud to say that he is a christian
>baptist man is happy, starts talking to him about the difference between japanese and american churches and the like
>holidays come up
>japanese man mentions going to the shrine to pray on new years
>vein appears on baptist man's throat
such is the way it is in japan
Japan has the longest life expectancy.
