mazliet par anti(((zemit)))izmu
To be a Shinto Buddhist in Japan is also to be anti-Christ?
No, it's not. It is not a question of a foreign religion denying the truths of your religion. The Japanese have no reason to hate Christians anymore than they have to hate Muslims, Jews or Zoroastrians.
Judaism however is different, because Judaism is predicated on two things. The law, and the coming of a messiah. Christ came to fulfill both, at which point only two alternatives remained for Jews. Cease to be Jews, and become Christian, or reject Christ, and remain Jews. The very definition of a Jew is someone who rejects Christ.
Notice that Christians are not bound to reject Judaism in the same way, because for Christians Judaism was a true religion. It's just that the advent of Christ made the old way redundant. Christians only became anti-Jewish after they discovered the Talmud, which is specifically anti-Christian. Christians on their part also despise Islam, for Islam in its turn rejects the divinity of Christ.
If you gonna mention most Jews nowadays are secular, keep in mind that secularization merely reshapes previous cultural ideals into a new mode. What was theological, now becomes ideological, for secular Jews exist in a "post-Jewish" environment, and the sense that to be a Jew means to be anti-Christian remains.
