christianity

The second major Abrahamic religion and largest one today, Christianity is centered on the teachings of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], the worship of Jesus and [[Yahweh|God]], and the veneration of numerous saints. It is generally split into three major branches: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism (including [[Mormonism]]), though each of these have their own various subdivisions.¶

Christianity is frequently used in Japanese media as a shorthand for "outsider/foreign force", such as in the [[Fate (Series)]], [[Hellsing]], or [[High School DxD]], usually depicted as a monolithic power bloc without regard to the many, [i]many[/i] differences between Christianity's various branches. ¶
