I'm one of many, many Nichiren Buddhists who believes that religion has no place in government. Alas, Soka Gakkai has a different idea. They promote the merging of faith and politics, especially in Japan through support of the Komeito political party. Japan Probe has this to say:
The grassroots activities of Komeito's supporters resemble the acts of fanatical religious missionaries, and frankly it makes it hard for me to see the "political" party's existence as a good thing. While the Komeito's current official party platform doesn't contain anything about turning Japan into a theocracy, it is worrisome to see a party that relies so heavily on the support of a single religious sect and its believers.
i agree. Also, check out the comments on that page. |
