According to Barry Strauss (a classical historian at Cornell who's also
been learning about Korean history, especially the Imjin War--I took a
class from him on the subject), the main reason South Koreans are
Christians is because the Japanese during the occupation adamantly weren't.
I don't know how true this is, but it sure *sounds* like a very Korean
motivation. :-/
