% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact they've clearly fucked up something.

07%

This is why punctuation is important.

I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there's a statistic that's embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they're gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.

In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: "those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives."

So that doesn't include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 'net café refugees' in Tokyo alone.

Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they've narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.

Fuck proselytizing religions. No, I won't join your stupid fucking cult. Fuck right off.

To be fair there is also the suicide rate.

Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?

Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official "sleeping on the streets" numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they're official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don't have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.

I just woke up, but I don't think the unit should be percentage per 100k people. Otherwise, I agree with the statement though.

What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?

I guess not having many Jesus cult members helps

07%/100000

Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.

correlation is not causation, the reason why they have less murders is probably not Christianity (for example they have way stricter gun control)

edit: after rereading the post I don't think the other person is tryng to argue that Christianity is causing murder and whatnot, so ignore above paragraph

also wouldn't it make complete sense for Japan to have way less Christians since they were isolated for so long and have their own religious beliefs

Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I've spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.

Heartbroken because it should be 0%?

Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.

Japan also has a terrifyingly high conviction rate, something those Christians would cream themselves over.

I don't think she's really sorry about their heart
