I feel like most of these answers miss the point. Most movies/shows you watch have Christian exorcism because Hollywood is a Western movie industry which makes movies mostly for the Western world. And the West is Christian, historically anyway.

The Short Answer

I feel like most of these answers miss the point. Most movies/shows you watch have Christian exorcism because Hollywood is a Western movie industry which makes movies mostly for the Western world. And the West is Christian, historically anyway. If you watch shows from Muslim countries that have exorcism than they will use Islam for the exorcism. I have watched such shows. In animes demons/spirits are often fought by Shinto or Buddhism.
