“Anime is Christian” anime uses what is basically blasphemy constantly, a veneer of Christian aesthetic for the purpose of a plot or character. That’s how you get a “vampire hunter” adorned with crosses and saying jumbled church Latin. The Catholic Church would never admit vampires are real. These people are tourists about Christianity. And anime. Life in general. A fucking dandelion floating on the wind.

The bad guys in NGE are called ‘Angels’ very Christian, very cool
Yeah, Japanese culture is so non-Christian that they find Christian symbolism to be exotic, and weave it into their fiction for edgy shock value.
