Something I've been curious about re: Death Note for a while - I'm by no means an expert in the relevant mythology and I know most of the stuff about the Shinigami in the anime/manga is just created for same - but the term is a Shinto thing, right?

And everything I've read about Shinto is pretty inconsistent with the belief in Heaven or Hell, certain as a default So why would a Shinto spirit, or even a spirit in the heavily not Christian Japan, prank someone by writing that the note means you can't go to Heaven or Hell?

It's treated as a reveal that it was made up and there are no Heaven or Hell, but I would have figured that was everyone involved's base assumption

Probably for similar reasons to why he wrote the rules in English. He had no idea where on Earth it would fall and it’s the most widely spoken language (which I don’t think is correct but whatever). Christianity is pretty spread out globally.

It is, English has been the most commonly spoken language in the world for a while Mandarin and Spanish beat English in terms of number of *native* speakers but the number of people who learn English as a second language is very high

Similarly while the demarcation of what "a religion" is its obviously controversial it's pretty well agreed that Christianity is the largest religion in the world and it isn't terribly close

Nope Islamophobes who say Islam is winning so so dishonestly by splitting up Christians into Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, etc But if you do that you have to split up Islam into Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, etc
