20.500.12556/RUL-162653 Kontroverznost nekdanje Združitvene cerkve na Japonskem The Controversy of the former Unification Church in Japan 8. julija 2022 se je zgodil atentat na nekdanjega japonskega premierja Abeja Shinzōja, kjer se kmalu razvedelo, da je premier svoje življenje izgubil zaradi svojih političnih povezav z nekdanjo Združitveno cerkvijo. Ta škandal je sprožil močen negativen odziv in kritiko Združitvene cerkve s strani množičnih medijev, akademske sfere in splošne javnosti, a ta je bila priča javne družbene kritike že v preteklosti. Obtožena je bila številnih kontroverznih zločinov, od zavajajoče prodaje duhovnih izdelkov in storitev do sumljivih načinov indoktrinacije novih članov, in bila ter je tudi še danes tema številnih javnih razprav. Po pregledu dotičnih raziskav o njenih 60 letih delovanja na Japonskem in spremljanju dogajanj v povezavi z organizacijo po atentatu v svoji diplomski nalogi argumentiram, da je njena današnja podoba kontroverzne organizacije rezultat več faktorjev: njeno delovanje in dejavnosti znotraj japonske politike, gospodarstva in družbe, fobija japonske družbe pred kulti in vloga množičnih medijev, ki imajo ključni vpliv na oblikovanje javnega mnenja. Analiza člankov treh največjih japonskih časopisnih hiš, ki predstavljajo novice v povezavi s cerkvijo, je pokazala, da se za prvotno objektivno obravnavo cerkve skrivajo metode, ki cerkev posredno predstavljajo v negativni luči. V diplomsko delo je vključena krajša anketa o javnem mnenju Japoncev o Združitveni cerkvi, ki poda uvid v današnje javno pojmovanje tega novega religioznega gibanja. On July 8, 2022, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzō was assassinated, and it was soon revealed that the Prime Minister lost his life due to his political connections with the former Unification Church. This scandal sparked strong backlash and criticism of the Unification Church in the mass media, academia, and the general public. However, it had already been met with public social criticism in the past. It was accused of many controversial crimes, from fraudulent spiritual sales to controversial methods of recruiting new members. It has been the subject of much public debate. After reviewing relevant research on the church about its 60 years of activity and monitoring the events in connection with the organization after the assassination, I argue in my thesis that its current image as a controversial organization in Japanese society is the result of several factors: its functioning and activities within Japanese politics, economy, and society, the “cult phobia” of Japanese society and the role of the mass media which has great influence on the formation of public opinion. An analysis of the articles of the three largest Japanese newspapers, which present news related to the Church, has shown that behind the original objective treatment of the church, there are hidden methods that present the church in a negative light indirectly. My thesis includes a short survey on the public opinion of Japanese people about the Unification Church which provides insight into today's public perception of this new religious movement.
