Unification Church and politics

The Unification Church has engaged in a lot of political activities. It was founded by Sun Myung Moon who was a Korean inependence activist.[1] It has been very controversial over perceptions as a power-hungry organization that threatened Separation of church and state.[2]

In the 1950s-1980s people criticized them for promoting nuclear war.[3][4][5]

The Church runs the right wing newspaper The Washington Times.[6]

Shinzo Abe was killed by an opponent of the Unification Church, because he was helping the church.[7][8][9] Moon's son Hyung Jin Moon participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack.[10]
