It's not about that, it's about "% per 100k" making no sense as a unit. It's either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you've clearly messed something up and don't quite understand what you're actually talking about.
Literally 5.7 per 100 per 100,000.
Neither had cake nor ate it

Japan also has a terrifyingly high conviction rate, something those Christians would cream themselves over.
If you measure the us conviction rate the same way the commonly quoted 99% conviction rate in Japan is calculated ours is actually higher.

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.

Do you want to talk about Satan?
We enjoy sex, responsible drug use and rock and roll.
Are the uh... maggoty cum farts optional or?

They cover it with Hideo Kojima

Naw, my religion is cool. I'm a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.
Science disagrees with consensus reality.

Sort of.
The satanic Temple chose their name because of the literal meaning of the word "Satan", which may be the name of the big bad from religious types but actually means "adversary" when directly translated from Hebrew.
Atheists can take all forms, and by no means do I assume what any individual believes, but by the very definition, atheists can be extremely passive in their belief, or more accurately, non-belief. The atheists I know are usually very live and let live, after a while because they realize that arguing the point with religious folks usually doesn't get you anywhere.
TST is dedicated to the fair use and representation of religions in society. They're obviously based in the USA where there is a separation of church and state, at least, there's supposed to be. So the state cannot show favoritism to any religion, but they often do. Usually with monuments like a depiction of the ten commandments placed on city owned land. This is a real and fairly recent issue that TST got involved on. They asked that a statue of Baphomet be placed on the same city owned land, forcing the city into a position of either allowing the statue to be placed along side the very Christian ten commandments, or admit that they are favoring Christianity, which they basically cannot do because it's a violation of their station.
Satanists are a bit more active, by default, than atheists. Not to say atheists are inactive or lazy, it's just that Satanists have a very specific target.
Look it's cool that you're in a philosophical moral club, but don't go around defending religion by calling yourself a religion and saying 'look at me as an example of a good religion' when you don't actually hold religious/supranatural beliefs.
And if you do hold such beliefs, don't claim you accept reality.

You know what would be funny? Dropping anonymous tips to the police that random churches are housing illegal immigrants.
You mean doing the things their religion is supposed to?
How about we drop anonymous tips that random churches hide child molestation instead?

Yes am I unaware of a strange way of displaying these metrics or did they just add the % sign for no reason?
i'm pretty confident (p<0.05) they just added a % for no real reason.
-
Fuck proselytizing religions. No, I won't join your stupid fucking cult. Fuck right off.
We dont need to improve the world, we just need to get you to say you to validate our taste in shitty fiction. That's more important.

Why would they be Christian 🤨? Guessing this is from an American?
Evangelical brain rot

Judging from the rest of the post, the person probably has issues with maths.

Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.
US population: ~350M
Japan population: ~125MNot even 3x as much.

Fuck all religion. No I don’t want to reject reality to play make believe.
It's part of capitalism as well.

According to this, per 10,000 people:
- Japan: 0.2
- US: 19.5
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/homelessness-by-country
.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?
I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.

Japan is just gaming the numbers here. Both with the conviction rate and with the homeless ratio.
https://www.examiner.org.hk/2025/01/17/the-invisible-homeless-in-japan/features/
According to this link, if you apply western metrics, Japan would have between 100k and 200k homeless. Which would mean Japan has 81.2-162.4 homeless per 100k inhabitants, while the USA has 221.7.
That would make Japan a bit better than the USA, but it's not that much of a difference any more.

Fuck that too!

This part of 'what your bible says about murder and poor people' makes it sound like the writer of the response believes it's causational but i think they were just offended and not trying to make a scientifically sound argument. And i would understand that.
It's almost racist because of how the first post makes Christianity sound like something superior. As if the Japanese being different in their believe makes them less.
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
Exactly this. Although Japanese rulers haven't always been very peaceful, their culture is known for being caring and respectful towards others where as Americans are by many people seen as loud and obnoxious (also positive things, but i'm not trying to make a comparison between two cultures as a whole), making this comment about Japanese adoption of Christianity not only come across as ignorant but also very arrogant.

Many people try to make Japan sound perfect, but they have a lot of problems:
https://archive.ph/0IoIQJapan lacks any law which prohibits racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoshi
Of course still not as bad as the US, but I don't it is because of religion, it is more because of the two party system. Look at Singapore 18% Christians and they don't have that many problems.
In the end I believe most problems in all countries are because of human nature, not religion. Religion is just one of the excuses they use for the horrible things they commit.

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.
