Of course, Western Gnostics often held similar ideas, that the God (or gods) commonly worshiped by ordinary people was actually an evil spirit impersonating the real God.

But you're right; in my experience most East Asians don't understand Western culture any better than we understand their culture.

Indeed. - to continue in my example, they use the religion(s) as an 'exotic, esoteric' background and in a manner who is often weird and sensless, if not ridiculous or offensive... The designer of Neon Genesis Evangelion said as much.
