They initially sided with the rebels because they tought a new christian dynasty would had bee more pro-westeners
Then litterall preachers moved into the areas controlled by the "Brother of Jesus" and realized he litterally didnt know anything about Christ aside the fact he was a good, had like 3000 concubines and may had been the less christian-like man in the entire China.
So europeans realized he was an unpredictable schizo and so switched support to the manchus
Why would they have better relations with Japan and the West if they ever became Christian? Nothing would change. Japan was interested in expanding its empire through and the European players in the region like Russia would've been more emboldened to invade Korea because of the instability. Britain wouldn't have stopped the Opium trade either, and would've continued to exploit the situation even further.
Ignoring for now the question whether they can be called real christians, the policy of discouring even married people of having sex probably wouldn't have turned out in their favour
so far chinese christianity has been pretty insane, but who knows, the slavs had plenty of hillbilly shit going on for centuries after formal conversion. The intelligesia westernizing through christianity rather than marxism might have led to a more peaceful, less sociopathic social revolution.
England is left greatly destabilized by the end of the Opium Trade; Hindus are emboldened by China's success and immediatly take arms against the Anglos. Meanwhile, Hong Xiuquan reorganizes his army, conscripts the population, and secretely send ambassador to potential allies such as the Ottoman Empire, Japan and Russia in the hope to either form an alliance against Western powers or acquire western techs.
By then here's nothing that Westerners can do to stop Chinese.
Great relations with Japan and Western powers.
The western power sided with the Manchus, the new regime wouldn’t have a good relationship with them at the beginning.
Look at original post again?

The church of god worshipper would be the biggest Christian denomination, what would this effect on western Christian communities?
Christianity becomes a Polytheistic religion

They stopped that shit like halfway through the rebellion though.

The ‘civilized’ homie was pillaging their village.

Posting this in gleeful anticipation of what will come.
They just edit the bible to justify their horseshit. Even Prots never did that.

Stop projecting modern geopolitics on the 1800s.
