Maybe not THE hero but a unquestionably a hero. He gave them someone to rally around and helped forge a resilient national identity while under constant bombardment, standing nearly alone against a military that had just swept through Europe.

You are absolutely correct about the usage of the bomb, certainly in the amount of of lives lost. Japanese losses would have been catastrophic and it's possible their population would never have recovered from a full blown invasion of their country, based on the "fight until the last man, woman, and child" propaganda they had been bombarded with for the past decade. Not to mention the expected Allied losses.
Standing nearly alone? What about the British forces? Churchill was rare for a politician, but he was still a politician. He deserves credit for inspiring the British public, but he wasn't on the frontlines of the war.

Don't be pedantic, you know what I meant. The British as a whole were standing nearly alone against the Nazis, both on the frontlines and the homefront.

Looking back on wars is always unfair to the men of the moment.
If the German army doesn’t halt its attack on the retreating British and French forces at Dunkirk in May 1940 does Great Britain survive.
If Britain falls does Japan attack Pearl Harbor In December ?
Does the United Sates stay on the sidelines and watch Russia fight Germany-Italy-Japan?
These are questions that we can’t answer 🤷🏼‍♂️
