Ive heard that, not independently confirmed, that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the 2 major areas of Japan's Christians.

They teach about the end of the war in dod masters programs.... they were 2 if the only cities not already burned and crushed by massive bombing. They were two larger raindrops in a hurricane . The fact that the soviets agreed to invade from the west so they were surrounded is what probably did it

Yes, they had a high population of Christians, specifically Catholics. I believe the oldest Church in Japan was destroyed, but a statue of Mary was left standing.
