Religions are found in every country, but Japan is definitely the largest in the world in terms of the number of religions, with more than 5,000 officially registered in 1980 alone, not counting those that have developed secretly, some of which are cults like Aum Shinrikyo, and there are also more traditional Buddhist Christianity, but most of them are more commercial religions. (There are a few chapters in Shisen that are very interesting about Japanese religion, so if you are interested, you can check them out.) ）

Most of Japan's religions were formed after the war, because at that time, Japan's defeat at that time, the people's hearts were shaken by the mythical status of the emperor, and at that time, Japan's economy was withering and ordinary people were living in poverty, in this case, it was the most suitable soil for the development of religion. Because people are not satisfied with the existing life, but there is no suitable solution, so they can only pin their hopes on religion, hoping that a god will appear to help them get out of the current predicament, so even if many new religions have many flaws and illogical places in their teachings, they are still willing to believe in him.

In fact, this is true not only in Japan but also in other countries, and the more troubled the times, the faster the development of religion. To give an example mentioned earlier, Wu Qingyuan joined a cult because his home was destroyed and he had no job, and he was called by an old Japanese woman all day long, and he also donated all his property, which can reflect the number of religions in Japan at that time.

At this time, the emerging religion was not as mature and commercialized as in the later period, but it still had some unique characteristics of Japanese religion: first, it was a deification of the leader, unlike the religions of other countries, the leader was the spokesman of God, and the head of the Japanese religion was a god, and he had the ability to create a god. You listen to me, offer to me, I can give you divine power or divine water, so that you have a chance to become a god, if you can't do it once, it means that your foundation is too poor, I have to give you a few more times, but I can't give it to you in vain, so you have to continue to be obedient to me. The second is the strict hierarchy, which not only facilitates the rule of the sect leader over the congregation, but also conforms to the consistent tradition of the Japanese, whether it is the senior system during the student period or the president, section leader and staff system during the working period, which reflects that the Japanese have become accustomed to this hierarchical system in their bones.

Because the emerging religion at this time had not yet taken the road of commercialization, there was only one source of his assets, donations from the congregation, but now the ordinary Japanese people are too poor, and you can't squeeze much no matter how much you squeeze, so these well-paid and well-paid factory employees under Downing have become the most suitable targets for the congregation, so these employees have been harassed with a high frequency.

Thinking about this, Tang Ning paid attention to this matter, he was not as optimistic as Matsuda Yoshiko and Ono, because he knew how fierce Aum Shinrikyo was back then, and those who were brainwashed dared to put poison gas on the subway against humanity, and it is said that the sect leader has a harem of hundreds of beautiful women, and there are even ** actresses in it......

Therefore, Tang Ning definitely didn't dare to take this matter lightly, in case the skilled workers he had worked hard to train were brainwashed by these religious elements, and it would be troublesome to only listen to the great immortals and not listen to himself, so Tang Ning planned to deal with this matter with a hot hand, but before doing so, he still wanted to know the thoughts of some grassroots employees, so he asked Xiang Yuanshan Heihachiro: "Yuanshan-kun, let me ask you, are you willing to join this Ole Sect?" ”

Heihachiro replied with some anger: "Report to the boss, I don't want to do it at all, if I want, I won't tell Matsuda about it, I know the leader of the Ole Sect before, that's a scoundrel, it's rumored that he has a strange disease, and all the hospitals in Tokyo can't cure it, in fact, if you want me to say, it's because he has no money, and all the hospitals in Tokyo don't want to treat him, and then this guy has a big life, and he didn't go to the hospital to get better, and then someone began to pick him up, said that he was a god, and since then he has great ability, and he will climb along the pole, and he will respond to how people praise him, so now he has become the leader of the sect. ”

Tang Ning nodded, what Heihachiro said is a more common method of religious rise, some people with more active brains see that playing religion is more profitable now, and they want to go in and intervene, but they are afraid that something will happen afterwards, so they will find a guy who is not very good at making a brain but has more or less strange things happening on his body to be a substitute for the dead ghost, just like the scoundrel that Heihachiro said just now, first tell him that your serious illness is cured shows that you have the care of the gods, and you will have a blessing if you don't die from this serious illness, and you will be a great person from now on. We are all willing to become your members of the church and help you carry forward our religion.

After finding the substitute ghost, he began to exaggerate and fabricate the magical power of the sect leader, in order to coax the ignorant people to join the religion, so as to deceive the cult members of the worship, because the sect leader is not good at brain, so most of the money is controlled by them, the sect leader is responsible for living a little rotten good life and occasionally come forward to the sect members to send divine water and the like, and when the sect members are almost deceived, when the doctrine is about to be worn out, they will put all the responsibility on the sect leader, just say that they are also deceived, let the angry sect members kill the sect leader, Then he ran away with his own money, and after a while he changed places and found another fool to establish a new sect for the dead ghosts.

Next, Tang Ning asked Heihachiro about other details, confirmed his opinion, and then casually gave him a reward and sent him out, turned his head and said to Matsuda Yoshiko with a serious expression: "Yoshiko, you are doing this right, religion is definitely not a trivial matter to recruit followers among our employees, once these brainwashed employees are used by people with intentions, then our factory will be troubled, and you will immediately investigate all the cults that have been active and harassed our employees recently. Give me a list of their leaders' names, and I'll deal with this in public!" ”

Matsuda Yoshiko asked cautiously, "Boss, are you saying that someone is targeting us?" The idea of beating our factory? ”

Tang Ning stood up, walked to the window, and replied lightly: "The tree is so popular, our factory is so profitable and high-profile now, it is inevitable that some people will covet it, even if it is not now, it will definitely be in the future, so internal problems must be dealt with first, and others cannot be left with a chance to start." ”
