Nothing compares to driving around while blasting "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant". Nothing.
Fucan religiously attacks the views of Christianity by both condemning the the beliefs of the Christians and by glorifying the views of Buddhism. He speaks of Buddhism in an enlightening way, and describes it as though it saved him. He also attacks Christianity by deeming it evil and barbaric, criticizing some Christian's martyr practices. He culturally attacks Christianity by claiming that it seeks to eliminate Japan's culture and customs, saying that Christian missionaries seek to "import the customs of their own countries," into Japan. Therefore, he is asserting that Christianity seeks to culturally destroy Japan. He attacks Christianity in a historical fashion by highlighting his awe for Japan's history - a Christianity-free history. He speaks of Japan as the "Land of the Gods" - Buddhist Gods, of course. He is asserting that this is the way that history should continue - uninterrupted by the advances of the Christian religion. In a political aspect, he attacks Christianity by condemning its missionaries for usurping countries such as Luzon and Nova Hispana and consuming them into its faith. His social attack on Christianity stems from his complaining about how "evil" it is and such - he is spreading social propaganda to prevent people form joining into the rank of Christians by spreading negative word about it. Should people hear such verbal condemnation, they would have a great deal of deterrance towards thinking of following it.

Dunno--nearly any Def Leppard or van halen 1984 is pretty good driving material too...
