Japan historically has had a mixture of Shinto, Buddhist, and Confucian practices. It's relatively easy to imagine a timeline where it becomes Christian (not saying it was close to becoming Christian in OTL, but it's easy to imagine a timeline where it was.) What about other religions? There were powerful Muslim nations to their south, and at least one Hindu nation. They were nearly conquered by a multi-religious Mongol Empire. Is there any plausible way to get a Japan where a faith other than the ones they had in OTL or Christianity is a major part of their culture?
