Japan's taken a bizarre turn.

They have to encourage folks in their early 20s to have sex. For many it's seen as too much hassle or just kinda dirty. Japanese officials are worried about a population collapse.

Here's the first article I could find on it, but there are several out there:

They're fast approaching a culture of extreme isolationism.

There are a ton of lessons to be learned from Japanese society, I just have a hard time figuring out exactly what they are. I guess your point regarding judeo-Christian values has some merit, but that sure seems simple. Afterall, I know plenty of secular folks that have no problem interacting with the opposite sex.

I think it's far more complicated than that.

Either Japan will lead the world in 30 years, or it will be completely irrelevant. It's hard to see a middle ground here and the latter seems far more likely.
