Sorry, it was not Hiroshima that was Christian, it was Nagasaki.

Nagasaki had the largest concetration of Christians in all the orient.

As a matter of fact, St. Mary's Cathedral was used as a marker for Bock's car bombadier .

Christianity was instantly wiped out of Japan with one fell swoop. Something that the Japanese government tried to do but could not do.

Wrong again. When I went to school at Yokohama International School, we played St. Joseph's Academy in various sports. Many St. Joe kids were Japanese or Nisei.

Incorrect. The aiming point that was used by Kermit Beahan was the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works not the Urakami Cathedral.

Incorrect again. There were ~15,000 Catholics living in Nagasaki. ~10,000 were killed in the bombing.
