Walking around Tokyo over the weekend, I came across Japanese Scientologists! They had parked themselves, along with their e-meters, along Tokyo’s self-proclaimed Champs Elysee, right next to the Omotesando subway station.
They had a sign advertising free ストレステスト (stress tests) and had people lined up. I’m not sure if modern Japan’s general lack of religious practice would make Japanese more or less susceptible to weird, exploitative cults that believe in past lives as clams.
