> Can you give an example? This seems to go directly against first amendment rights.

Like I said, many manga/anime/games were modified to remove any casual use of religious symbol when released in US. These days, major products don't contain these beforehand if it's famous enough to expect US release.

There is about zero chance that was done due to US laws or censorship.

Most likely, the publishers themselves removed it to avoid controversy and sell more anime.

You specifically said that the "US outright ban[s]" it, which is incorrect. Private companies can change whatever they want to sell more of their product. That's not censorship, that's just knowing your target audience.
