I thought it was pretty much explained (esp. if you played through the maniacs version of the game and went after the True Demon ending).  Aradia is a false god; she perhaps exists because people need her to and also because in order to gain any power she must be imbued with reason through many worshipers.  She has no power on her own.  That's why Yuko, who possesses no Reason other than freedom becomes the perfect host for Aradia.  Essentially, Yuko and Aradia together cannot collect any power or formulate any idea, so more or less Yuko is killed to realize the Nihilo god and Aradia ceases to be or ventures off to be a parasite goddess in another world, having lost her host.  
 
All the other gods have a reason and have power, Aradia lacks this, but because she is sorta a positive "void" of a god, as the player, choosing her, you are opening a path back to the world of freedom--the world before the Conception.  Aradia/Yuko is the perfect foil for Hikawa and his reason because she's just a positive less controlled spin on his idea.

Oh, okay. I have played through the game before, and was recently replaying the Diet building level. Most of what you said was mentioned in the Kalpa cut-scenes, but I never understood what exactly they meant by "false" god.

Assuming I didn't chicken out/get ridden by guilt and go Neutral because it's safe and what I know, True Demon.
 
Don't get me wrong, freedom is awesome, but I thought the game made it pretty clear (at least in the Maniax/NA release) that the Neutral ending will only lead to another Conception, in time. The only way to break the cycle and cast off the influence of the Divine Will permanently is to go True Demon, even if it means temporarily joining forces with another higher power.
 
But picking from the realized Reasons and not Demon/True Demon/Neutral, I'd say Shijima. I don't like the idea of endless conflict, or being forever alone. Besides, as much smack as Yuko talks about it, who's to say she's right? Perhaps in a world where each sublimates his or her will to the whole, we wouldn't have a world where millions starve and the privileged don't give a damn >_>

Yeah, but they occur when He wills it, so humankind will never be free of divine influence until they are gone; better that men make and unmake the world with their own hands.  
 
(As in, well, real life.)

Well... the real reason for the Japanese's distaste of Christianity is pretty easy to find by simply studying a little Japanese History. What happened is that the Jesuit tried to control Japan first by allying with the strongest feudal lord of that period, Oda Nobunaga ( who converted to Christianity trying to undermine the Buddhist grip on power ), then after his death by buying the favour of a lot of local lords with gold (who the Spanish Jesuits had in aboundance ) and by helping Hideyoshi, an aide of Nobunaga who had basically become the de facto ruler of Japan, who begrudgingly gave them free rein.
 
With the death of Hideyoshi and the rise to power of Ieyasu Tokugawa the rift between jesuit-controlled lords and the government escalated, until one last climatic battle where the Christians were defeated.
This struggle of power is what actually motivated the closing of the frontiers of Japan to all commerce with the west ( with the exception of the Protestant countries of North Europe, probably motivated by the personal friendship of Ieyasu with a shipwrecked Dutch who was brought to his court, where he explained most of the shady catholic politics of that period).
