Arthur shares his perspective as someone who left Christianity, and Austin shares what it's actually like working at a Catholic school here.
Why Japanese couples want Christian-style weddings without believing

From that view, religious differences don't matter. As long as it's peaceful and fun, we accept everything. That is the core attitude of multi-Gods and Goddess culture.Christian God is one of those prayers. It's not about religion but who can provide a good party.
