“I heard most japanese people are an atheist. But why is crime in Japan lower than in many Christian countries?
why are they well-mannered?”
The problem of atheist crime and Christian moral perfection is certainly a vexing one.
The illiterate and pathetically ignorant drivel posted on Yahoo! Answers in response to this question is hardly worth reproducing here, but 2ch’s response is as edifying as ever:
“Wrong: Atheists.
Right: Polytheists.”
“Because the eyes of other people are more scary than those of God.”
“The Sun watches down on us so we can do no wrong.”
“Because we don’t have any religious wars.”
“Isn’t it because religion itself breeds violence?”
“We’re not really atheists though. And what’s called an atheist overseas is practically a cultist, like some kind of atheist religion.”
“You can’t watch late night anime in prison. That makes for a polite society.”
“Piety destroys character.”
“It must be genetic. Just look at those damn Koreans!”
“Because we’re Japanese.”
“Religion serves as an expedient means of making the uncultivated or ignorant obey the law.”
“Because you can only believe in yourself.”
“’They’re clever because they eat lots of fish.’
I don’t think Japanese are smart, but I do think the person who wrote this is an idiot.”
“As expected of someone from a place where they don’t each much fish, he’s pretty stupid.”
“If you compare them to America, the crime rates in most countries are just a joke.”
“Not revering a single god doesn’t give rise to useless prejudice.”
“Religion is a weapon of mass destruction.”
“You can do whatever you like if God forgives you.”
“We aren’t without religion.
December is Christmas.
The New Year is Shinto.
The funeral is Buddhist.
The marriage is Christian.
There’s no more faithful people!”
“It’s almost like you can’t have morals, happiness or love without religion to them. Their culture has been hijacked, hasn’t it?”
“’It’s because they are 98% one people.’
This is a big factor – mixing in different cultures and religions causes public order to deteriorate.”
“The reason is because sex is completely tolerated.”
“Society is a harsher master than any God. The punishments actually happen after all.”
“Crime may be rare and manners good, but it is stifling here.”
“Look at the troubles after the war or in the Showa period, and the crime rates then. Japanese society is currently stable, that’s why crime is low. Individualism vs collectivism or whatever are just secondary factors.”
“Overseas, atheists get suspected of communism. In Japan, it’s the Catholic priests and the Buddhist monks who are the communists.”
“Japanese only believe in capitalists and men of power.”
“I’d like to ask those American fellows the opposite – just why is it the religious folk are the ones with the worst manners and the highest levels of crime?”
“In the US, there’s one god for 300 million people.
In Japan, there’s 8 million gods, that’s 1 to 15. Plenty for everyone.”
“Let’s just put it down to bushido.”

Why less crime than Christian countries?
No guns primarily, like in Canada.
(another Christian country)
Mostly, simple mathematics.
Japan in one country.
Countrie(s) is plural.
You cannot compare so many
different races inside one country
(like in the U.S.)
compared to just one main race
populating a smaller area.
Majority are not Athiest but are shintoist and buddhist. Even their culture is infused with shintoist philosphy.
If you want athiest nation most of them are communist like north korea, China and other communist country. Since basically these nations don't allow religion to be taught in their country.
Dude... That was a tad... Uneducated. North Korea and China are largely Buddhist. The Soviet Union was Unorthodox Christian, and even Karl Marx himself was a Protestant Christian. I'm not for Communism, but one should think before they bash.
WRONG! the only religion that N korea allows is to worship Kim Jon sicking. The old Soviet destroyed every church they could. removing religion is one of the tenets of Marxism.
And the Christian-bashing moralfaggotry continues...
(-_-#)
Yea, Christians are now quickly being tossed in with the Jewish people as acceptable persecution targets these days.
It's funny how three years ago, when the topic of "God" is brought up. 2ch will definitely be bombarding praises and love for a certain HaruWHO.
WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW?
Because the Japanese vent their hate towards Lolis
Japan is still a copie from ancient chinese-confucian culture. It was civilized by the Chinese at least beginning from the 5th century. Even until today Japan is still a "Made in China"-country, like Korea and Vietnam.
日本=中国
日本人=中国人
日本文化=中华文化
and so on...
Men evoluted from the monkeys.
So Man=Monkey
Cool logic, chinese bro.
what a load of shit... should look at why crime is committed not what god dose the criminal worship.
its fucking stupid to say that the religious believes of a country dictates the crimal activity
On a side note, the picture is pretty damn awesome.
Agreed.
What a bunch of ridiculous ideas from 2ch.
Japan has a low crime rate because it is a monoculture with (for all intents and purposes) no immigrants, and if you get arrested, you have a 98% chance of being convicted, after which you are the ultimate outsider in a society that demands that you be part of the group.
Religion has sweet bugger all to do with it.
Because they are not people, they are ROBOTS!
Doesn't anyone here remember what happened to Junko Furuta?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta
Main problem is that people in general
are stupid and ignorant morons.
By encouraging these morons to believe in
the "big fairy" in the sky, it leads some
of the even dumber morons within the morons
to go radical and even create even more
retarded religious ideas/beliefs.
A majority of the regilious zealot twits
have held back scientific advancements since
the begin of your BC/AD Calendar.
Until all you retarded people stop with
organization religion and brain up, then
maybe, just maybe the stupid human race
can move forward just a bit.
Let science proceed unabated by your
pseudo-morals regilious crap. If science
somehow screw up and end up destorying
all humanity, then so be it, we had crappy run...
You may believe this, but that won't stop me from wanting to kill people indiscriminately.
A challenge to my faith is a challenge, one that is based on passion, not reason.
This is why I praise any bomber and those martyrs who crashed the planes on the twin towers.
Also, one of my dreams is to bathe in a blood of atheists.
Richard Dawkins. Christopher Hitchens. One day, I will kill these people and eat them and defecate their pathetic remnants, because they are just animals.
All atheists belong in mass graves, to be forgotten both in Earth and in Heaven. They are nothing. They are not human. They may speak or think, but so can parrots and computers. Atheists deserve to be eaten by those willing to die for God Almighty.
go home, bill o'Reilly.
LET SCIENCE DESTROY YOU FILTHY HEATHENS. MAY MORE NUCLEAR AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS CONSUME YOUR GODLESS BODIES.
AND THE IGNORANT MORONS WILL FIGHT THE NEXT WAR WITH STICKS AND STONES.
I sincerely hope that terrorists kill all you atheists. For I shall go to hell proudly before denying its existence.
lmao. Is that you slayer545?
Maybe because they are a small country and they are also surrounded by water. No one gets in, No one gets out!
The replies to this article proves how ill-mannered, moronic and assertive Westerners and white-washed Asians are compared to people from Asia who still have their values intact.
I'm christian, but I don't understand those christians that hate on atheists or agnostics. Why should you do that?
Personally, I want an "ending" to our life where everyone is saved. Where everyone wins. You're atheist? Cool, I respect your viewpoint. Why do we have to fight?
I'm living my life hoping that, however the world ends up ending, everyone is saved in the same way (If we're saved at all. If we just die though, that's gonna suck.) Look out for others, they'll look out for you too.
you mean like how they vote to not let same sex couple marriage because it is evil in their bible, or the man got arrest due to not being naked in his own house and so on? I would rather they leave me alone.
adding on to anon 15:36
or how people who have been impregnated through rape can't abort because you guys vote against it, or how advancements in medicine in genetics are being held back by anti-cloning sentiments held by your faith.
Unfortunately thats only some of the implications for society that your faith imposes. While you're happy, those people who are afflicted by your faith's illogical social limiations are suffering. Try to at least attempt to put yourself into someone else's boots; have a bit of empathy and compassion.
Wait...did someone just suggest that there wasn't trolling going on here? I mean, I feel asleep just trying to scroll down this mighty wall of text, which consists primarily of Christians and Atheists calling each other fags.
we aren't calling each other fags just retarted ass monkeys
Let's not forget about atheist like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Malosivic, Himler, Castro, and Hussein. Plus I won't leave religion out of the light. We have the Crusades for both Islam and Christianity, 9/11, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion just to name a few. Humanity is violent no matter the religion or not.
>Hitler
>Hussein
>atheist
>Islam
>Crusades
>implying Stalin was a threat to global security
>implying Castro was a threat to global security
Somebody failed his history class.
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Castro were _CATHOLIC_.
Hitler even went on to prattle about his Catholic faith was giving him the spiritual strength to fight the Jewish menace.
religion is the best case of stockholm syndrome that has or will ever be presented and/or proven. all religions basically say that we're right and everyone else is wrong, but at the same time deny that fact if confronted with it and at the same time AGAIN enforce it. a hardcore christian will defend his belief to the death, and not even know what he's defending. there's a saying: as long as there's been a God, there's been killing in his name. the first murder in the bible was a man killing his own brother because he was jealous. according to the bible, man got kicked out of paradise for disobeying on account of a woman. how is this supposed to inspire sunshine and happiness when the bible reads like a lovecraftian horror gone wrong? incest, rape, murder, deception, every one of the ten commandments in the bible is BROKEN in the bible. then there's just discrepancies that we can't be sure if it's from mistranslation, or it's from the bible being rewritten so many times. there's books that have been taken out of the bible, and stuff that's been shuffled around and things added in that shouldn't be there! for example, the account of judas betraying jesus. anyone that's cone to sunday school as a child or taken a religion class in high school knows of this one. but there's 2 endings. one, he hangs himself. 2, he disembowels himself. how did he die twice? it's just too much to look at and then go to church with a straight face, ya know?
the bible that we all know of may say one thing, but all the different "christian sects" as i like to call them, all say something different. Catholics say one thing, protestants say one thing, then there's baptists, Pentecostals, salvation army, and a million other branches that started all because someone didn't like the way that someone wore their hair, so they had to be a child and start their own "christian religion" which is the same as the one they JUST left, but for one small detail, whatever that may be. i was born and raised a christian, and i find so many flaws with Christianity and the "modern" bible, that it's not funny. like the fact that our "bible" was rewritten at least twice in history, and mostly for political agenda. it's really sad when the pastor of my church can't answer my questions, and when his spiritual leader can't either, but the funny thing is, the ppl that i know that know the most about the bible and are correct are those that don't even believe in the church. let me make that clear. i believe in "god" but just not in the concept of organized religion. to me organized religion and organized crime are not that far apart. the big difference is that if you want to make more money, religion is the place to go in some parts of the world.
I am surprised at all the serious insightfull responses i tought they were just going to troll the guy, but many actually tried to answer the question.
My god is Richard Dawkins.
/thread.
You can't /thread your own post, faggot.
Typical Atheist moron.
This is stupid.
Sectarianism - Impose their idea on others
Theism - Believe there is a God or follow a way of life taught by a religion
Agnostic theist - Religious by tradition but does not practice nor give a damn
Agnosticism - Don't give a damn or try to find the truth 50/50
Agnostic atheist - Don't believe in a God
Atheism - Impose their idea on others
learn the difference
Some interesting opinions from Japanese 2ch users there. I disagree with some, and agree with others, which is about what I would expect.
I will say that it seems that atheism is just as misunderstood as theism in some sense. Being an empirical rationalist that lives his/her life based on what is testable and demonstrably true is no cult, it's just a mindset. I've always had a mistrust for those that claim to have the truth... I'd rather spend my time seeking it myself.
As far as I can tell, it's less about religion so much as cultural differences.
Cultural differences largely defined by religion. Abrahamic religions give forgiveness, the Japanese without it have to own up to it themselves.
Almost everywhere crime is lower than in USA.
Even in christian countries... Most european countries have far lower crime rates than the USA.
thats because most people here aren't christians. And it is all the games fault because most people are to retarded to tell the differnce between reality and imaginary games
I love this art :3
I personaly find it funny that so many people are:
ITs the god(s) they worship! ( or dont worship )
or other religious BS.
Lets face the facts:
In America, you commit a crime, they slap you on the wrist and let you go. ( There was a shooting near my home recently... 4 cops died... the shooter had been in jail many times before and even had been sentenced to 102 years in jail... but... they felt sorry for him to face such a sentence so they let him go... )
In Japan, you commit a crime and they throw you in prison and throw a way the Key.
In America its the Culture to blame society for a persons problems.
In japan, their culture is if you do something wrong, Society judges you.
Its Japan's culture that saves them from the high crime rates.
True dat.

Harutards are pathetics....
you know why the number of crime in japan? it is because the government it self afraid of "843" yakuza. hahaha. well each country has its own law and it different compare to other country for example in USA the GPM (Gross Profit margin) they also count the source of income from the gamble place such as at Los Vegas, but in another country such as singapore they dont count the gdp as the one of the source in the country . in another word the way of legal action also different.
Heres the reason
Japan: Lost kid, gasp, ill shall help you. knock knock, this your kid. Mom "Yes, thank you. can you wait for a second" Guy "Yes." Mom ring ring "hello police." sir can you wait while the police come to arrest you. Man sure why not. glad i could help. mom and thanks again for helping me find my lost kid.
U.S.: Lost kid, gasp, ill shall help you. knock knock, this your kid. mom "yes, omg thank you. heres your reward." hands over money. man thank you bye.
in short, in japan you get arrested for the dumbest things. so the people dont act bad over there. help a kid over there, hell even look at one, and you get arrested. here help the kid find his home and ka ching.
you get it now.
How is babby formed?
Ask Mr. Stork.
how girl get pragnant?
lol... ask ur parents XD
Question was deleted...
Amen, Japan...That and the sh*tload of hentai you produce to keep everyone happy and contented...
Hentai is a religion...
*thumbs up*
Besides, the Japanese created Hentai to keep salarymen, college boys and other men from committing sexual crimes!
Without it, high sex crime wave!
if you have no religion, by default you kind of take on a humanism world view and attitude to life, which is infinitely far better than worshiping some ancient myths and superstitions.
it's painful to see that the majority of the world feel that if you have no god, you are automatically a criminal with no sense of values or morality.
“It must be genetic. Just look at those damn Koreans!”
Sigh...really...
-_-
LOLZ! Seems like some of you guys take "following GOD" seriously too much.... The rules made by GOD are just actually sort of "guidelines". We still do what we want to do...
they aren't guide lines. There RULES and everybody knows rules are made to be broken
It's not that their crime rate is lower. It's that they do a better job of censoring and manipulating "facts."
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Crime is almost nonexistant in Kuwait, too, you know, must be the best place on Earth, right?
Correlation DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION. Crime and religion go hand in hand because they both appeal to the same demographic: stupid people. Don't believe me? Remember Proposition 8 in California? 95% of those identifying themselves as atheists voted against it. You think that was because they were atheists, or was it just because they'd given the matter some thought?
Most of the UK are atheists, too. You think 95% of them would vote for gay marriage? Fuck no.
tl;dr: statistics can mean whatever you want them to mean.
Why is crime in Japan lower than in Christian countries? Because Philippines is a shithole!
Yeah, but Japan won't be having any more babies. They'll die out from not having children, or kill themselves over their lack of employment.
Philippines? You can throw a volcano, a storm, or an earthquake at them, and they'll make 10 more for each who died, and they'll do it with a smile on their faces.
In fact? Pretty soon, if the Chinese or Koreans won't take over Japan, the Filipino immigrants in Japan would out-breed the Japanese.
Japanese people are nice well mannered people while Americans are well, trigger happy motherfuckers that are so hypocritical and waste lay to anybody that's in their way
I should know i live there, Fuck a bitch' peace~
I agree
''You can’t watch late night anime in prison''
this man speaks the truth
Amen, brother... Amen.
Japanese commits crime of mass proportion during WWII, guess that paid for all the crimes that would be committed in future? huh?
Anyway tbh the war did indeed wipeout a great number of those Japnese who were imperialistic mutherfukers that were still clinging to the old Japanese "caste" system, they actually treat their civilians alot worse than the Americans when they occupied Japan
So the war practically removed a large number of those Japanese soldiers who would be by modern standards criminals, hooligans n bullies
It's true religion is a big factor in violence.
And I agree with what others are saying: Christianity lets you do whatever the hell you want so long as you believe in Jesus.
Atheists/agnostics do good for the sake of doing good, not for the sake of they're scared they'll burn in hell for not doing so.
most pepole in japan are shinto not athiest
"Let's just put it down to bushido."
I like that.
I think most Christians are too self-centered in terms of their faith. The core belief is to declare your faith in Jesus as your god and saviour and then you get your ticket to paradise. However, a lot of denominations doesn't put importance on the moral issues, so yeah....
Probably, the Japanese people have always obeyed the respect and moralist culture.
Like one Japanese person posted about rape in Japan most crimes are never reported and sometimes Ignored.
that and the US catches every nude guys in the kitchen and label them as criminals
Maybe one of reason is They nowhere to hide when they already commited the crime ? or else they're yakuza? don't really know it but agree with their fear of eyes and mouth of the other.(if you had alredy watched "Welcome to NHK"or"Chaos Head".)
What is your morale? Your own sense which decides what is good or bad?
The ones who don't have it have no difference than dog or the other beast? The ones who have it are higher being than the ones who don't?
Which is cause you do something bad? It's come out from yourself,Doesn't it? What you call it? Your desire? Your will? Evils? Satan? Doesn't that mean the ones who can fully control their own will , they won't do something bad perfectly? Weren't they used to be called "the Highest being","the Worthy ones","the Blessed ones" or "the God"? that's Nirvana
I'm not sure about their connections there's some book write about that though don't know either what the title is but what I'm sure about is it's almost impossible to do the above (realize that even some god/goddess in some myth couldn't !?)and that was the buddhism trying to to teach train to do. Possibility seems like a miracle.
I won't type about the method it's too long to type and it's your invidual problem that you cause and have to solve it for yourself. Anyway Wiki & Google are waiting for you.That was piece of the buddhism that i know.Thanks for reading and Happy New Year for advance.
“In the US, there’s one god for 300 million people.
In Japan, there’s 8 million gods, that’s 1 to 15. Plenty for everyone.”
“Let’s just put it down to bushido.”
LMFAO
I was wondering if the gang here has a system of morals personally. I know most people believe athiests (which most of us here are right?) are all selfish objectivists whose morals are little more then escaping the punishment that comes from breaking the law.
I know that's not true. I love the golden (Jesus) and silver (Confucius) rules. My life is richer due to morals i've taken into my heart and I feel happy and whole. It has also made me friends and given me a loving adoring and virtuous wife. You may hate Jesus, Solomon, and Confucius for religious reasons, but from a philosophical standpoint I've learned from them and I think we all can.
I was wondering of he athiests here, Do you have a moral system that binds beyond God and faith? Do you do things sometimes because it's right? Do you ever give in secret, not for honor, but because you want to from deep down in your heart? I think a lot of you are that good. Call it your Dao or the Holy Spirit, or just the likeness of God in man, whatever God is.
I'm probably more of an extremely reverant agnostic myself. I love what religion has given me and even if there is no God and no heaven and that may well be. I regret nothing in my dedication to it. It has given me a better life.
I'd love to learn more of morals and honor from other POVs. Like if you don't believe in God or karma, or good and evil, do you still give in secret? Of course you do! Why? because it's the right thing to do and you know there is a right thing to do eh? This is what makes man less like animals more transcending animal like God in my eyes, whatever God is. So maybe we are his likeness? But who am I to judge? I am merely a reverant agnostic.
Let's just put it down to Bushido
Not as many blacks or mexicans, answer solved.
To the one who wrote the crap about the Japanese not having religion: "Die monster! You don't belong in this world!"
simply they have better things to do ^^
The level of crime in the US has nothing to do with our religion, or our lack thereof.
The reason why the level of crime is so high in the US is because we are, and always will, be nigh uncontrollable bastards. Many of us are proud of it.
Don't be serious.lol
I believe it is due to the lolis
Nope they just don't have time for doing crimes, Japanese are hard working people.
They're too busy watching anime and reading manga to do anything
Because the Yakuza run the crime and keep low level criminals in fear. A business man who is robbed has no money to spend it at the Yakuza pussy house. Nor does a seedy area lend its elf to customers coming to use Yakuza run business. There is a TON of crime in Japan but its hidden away behind closed doors.
I can't believe there's 8 million gods in Japan...
(Please, I am fairly serious here.)
So... is no one here ever serious? I find many of these articles to be humorous and many sad at the same time but from reading the (funny and idiotic) comments, I seem to find that no one here is willing to "discuss" at all.
“It must be genetic. Just look at those damn Koreans!”
GIANT LOL
but wait...did you forget the Chinese????
RELIGION VS CRIME
You people are giant hairy JOKES!!!!
Answer:
Because people rarely report a crime out of fear of embarrassment.
I THINK I GOT THIS ONE!
Okay from what I read Shinto has no unified moral code. (imagine judaism with only genesis, kings, chronicles, no prophets, no mosaic law)
Because you only have history, and tradition, and superstition it was left wide open so that when Confucianist philosophy came in it was adopted as THE religious code of ethics to be added to Shinto (Shinto is like a sponge it absorbs every religion it touches from tao to buddhism)
Confuscius is best described to westerners as a mix between the teachings of King Solomon (prizing wisdom and study above all other pursuits, telling the virtues of good conduct, discretion, and honor) and the teachings of Jesus (Golden rule, love, give, forgive, family)
So essentially you have something pretty close to Judeao/Christian morals with a people who are far more disciplined then your average not very devout "Christian" who could probably name more reindeer then apostles.
Is this a fair estimation?
>There's 8 million gods in Japan.
WOW really? That's cool.
because is as this guys say "Just reaffirm your belief in jesus" and u are on your way to the heaven again <.<
that should be a taboo xD
Unlimited "Gods" works
Only one blatant reference to anime and no haruhi jokes?
in a nutshell, religion demands that you surrender you're right to think to someone else
In other words, Japan. :l
remember how USA started and ull understand the basics , also jap kills for pride or honor as samurai did , west kills for money and space .
There's all sorts of mixed things to say about this. And it's hard whenever I make a statement on any of these things because people on most sides will take issue. For instance, it's hard to imply there is any decent amount of influence of Shinto on Japanese culture without someone saying "no you're delusional, Japanese people are atheists".
But here's a chance for me to say a bunch of things on record in response to some of the controversial material within.
Atheism is not a religion here in the West. Anti-religious activism is not the same as Atheism. Outspoken atheists who rail against religion, would be classified as anti-religious. It's just something some atheists have added on to their religion. It's also the result of a society with more persecution of Atheists than Japan.
Japan is in fact a largely atheist country. Most follow religious customs in a non-religious sense. Many are atheists, what I would actually contest is if they can be called an actually atheistic country. I would say more likely a country with many skeptics, and even more Agnostics who are mostly influences my a form of Buddhism that is many many times removed from the original and Shinto. Both which are heavily Animistic and add up to a country that tends to be, when spiritual, mostly Animistic with a dash of Indian and Chinese philosophy.
I know a lot of people are doubting and think religion is silly. But I think there are a surprising amount of people who lean toward belief or are on the fence.
I think trying to understand to what degree any country has "shame", is "collective" and has a strong status quo, is a difficult science. And I don't think that throwing the Chrysanthemum and the Sword is enough to explain such a tiresomely difficult to understand matter. It's overly simplistic to say "the East has more shame than the West".
While I'm not saying that statement is absolutely untrue, there's a lot of boxed you'd have to open in order to prove that statement. As of which I haven't seen.
I think that what's more likely is that Japan has a slightly difference balance of taboos than say, the United States of America.
Also, there's that whole "Japanese people are less likely to report crime(due to shame)" idea.
That's part of why I don't like the whole "shame" argument, it brings all sorts of problems. One person will blame shame for Japan having less crime, another will point to the same thing to say it's likely that much crime as any other place happens, it just doesn't go reported as much.
I actually think it's quite a lot of different things. Including things like how they industrialized and economics. I don't think that shame or collectivism is an inappropriate factor to factor in, however, I think it's too simplistic to lay out as the sole blame. There's no way it's that simple.
Especially since it's considered an "Asian thing" when several other countries that should have just as much Confucian influence if not more really, and other Sino shame influence, have more crime and so forth. I don't look at crime statistics and see an automatic plummet in crime between the West and the Sinosphere. There's actually quite a bit of diversity in both.
And as an anecdotal from a "Westerner", there sure does seem to be a lot of the concept of "saving face" here.
So...apparently Japan has less Christains, so crime is lower. Tell me...if I had a rock with me all the time and tigers never got appeared when I held it, does that mean that rock prevents tigers?
Too many people throw out the word "Christain" as some kind of catch-all. It's a scapegoat. It's a demonizing term (ironically). Whatever the case is, it's misused.
