Grandia II as well.

Not sure. It's about the same time "edgelord" characters gained popularity and oversaturation.

Japan view christianity from the outside, as such its a much more critical view of the religion.

Christianity is a minority religion in Japan, with beliefs and values they probably find gross in non-Christian circles. So I'd say at least part of this trend is that the writers don't like Christianity. I'm probably super over-simplifying it.

They did before the 90s. It was just cut out.
Censorship and awkward bowdlerization began to decline in the 16/32-bit era, mostly due to Sega putting up actual competition to Nintendo's nigh-monopoly, and then Sony entered the market and didn't meddle much with games' content.
