A blend of Krïdan and Roman Catholicism dominates throughout, with the former being the official religion. Buddhism and Islam have strong followings too.
Nihon was always a bit anti - Catholic, more to be honest anti - Papacy than anti - Roman Catholic itself. Partially because it's history (Nihon was heavily influenced by protestant missionaries, and after coming to power various persecuted protestant groups fled to Nihon, where they advised Shogun Chosokame on reforms. However those days they intermingled with Nihonese.
In 1637 Shogun Chosokame no Sanemoto waged war against Spanish crown, which ended in Nihonese victory and seizure of first oversea possessions of Nihon. Recently, however, certain forms of this sentiment begin to follow as Nihonese church, very fundamentalist in nature, is overwhelmingly refusing to accept liberal policies present in many modern Churches, partially due to tendency of cultural isolationism present in Nihon (foreign media can only enter Nihon if they are not "offending Nihonese values", many Nihonese don't speak English, many places in Nihon such as restaurants etc. are "Nihonese language only" where foreigner can walk only with Nihonese friend, if you want to immigrate to Nihon you will be constantly evaluated for level of assimilation, or be deported) and partially due to very strict doctrine in regards to morality expected from believers.
So yeah, Church of the Greater East is by nature fundamentalist, It does not mean that Church is in any way in politics, and all faiths and creeds are accepted; yet Christian morals heavily influence society, which causes world-view break with more liberal counties.
