Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

The Stanford Japan Barometer conducted in November 2022 by Kiyoteru Tsutsui and Charles Crabtree found that 47.2% of the Japanese public supports potential legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, 15.8% oppose it, and 36.9% neither support nor oppose it.

Japan is not a country that supports homosexuality.

The Public Religion Research Institute survey of 22 000 United Statesians conducted throughout 2023 as part of its American Values Atlas found that support for same-sex marriage dropped to 67% from 69% in 2022.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

The statistic quoted, that 72% of both Japanese and United Statesians support homosexual marriage, is false.

Japanese do not support homosexual marriage and regard it as an abomination.
