I think Christianity in Japan or at least Tokyo is run like a business.
Christian churches set up shop in the richest neighborhoods--Daikanyama, Omotesando, Ginza, Ebisu, etc.--
send out their salesforce to go door to door (and they are persistent) to get more clientele,
then have their clientele pay a good percentage of their income. (10% is what Hollywood agents charge their clients.)
And, maybe it's not an organized thing but, resort to unseemly tactics like product placement of Christian symbolism (totally unnecessary to the plot) in a great many trendy dramas and movies. I guess this is target marketing of the young generation because older people are more resistant.
