摘要

日本前首相安倍(shinzo Abe)被一名枪手令人震惊地谋杀，凶手的动机是对这位政治家与有争议的统一教会(Unification Church)的关系感到愤怒，这引发了大规模的抗议，加剧了日本长期以来对宗教的担忧。这篇文章调查了日本公众(倾向于拒绝自我认定为宗教人士)和宗教附属组织对日本政治的影响之间持续紧张关系的原因。报告还指出，2022年7月安倍遇刺和2023年4月的地方选举，可能是日本公共领域对宗教的最新道德恐慌的起点和终点。

The Abe Assassination and Japan’s Nexus of Religion and Politics

The shocking murder of Japan’s former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzō Abe by a gunman motivated by anger at the politician’s ties to the controversial Unification Church sparked a massive outcry that amplified long-standing anxieties about religion in Japan. This article surveys reasons for persistent tensions between a Japanese public that tends to reject self-identifying as religious and the influence of religion-affiliated organizations on Japanese politics. It also identifies Abe’s assassination in July 2022 and local-level elections in April 2023 as potential beginning and end points of the latest moral panic about religion in Japan’s public sphere.
