战后日本“政教分离”原则下的政治违宪——以自民党与统一教的关联为例

Exploring Political Unconstitutionality in Post-War Japan Under the Principle of“Separation of Politics and Religion”:A Case Study of the Connection Between the Liberal Democratic Party and Unification Church

2022年7月8日,日本宪政史上在位时间最久的前首相安倍晋三遇刺,行刺者是一位深受新兴宗教团体——统一教之害的中年男子。明治维新之后,安倍是第一位因宗教问题被刺杀的首相。虽然日本现行宪法明确规定了政教分离的原则,然而安倍遇刺后,包括安倍在内的多名自民党政治人物被揭露出与统一教有着各种利益交易。修宪是自民党自建党之初就定下的政治目标。为达到修宪目的,自民党内保守势力与试图寻找政治庇护的宗教团体彼此关联,有着各种私下交易,不仅违反了政教分离的原则也导致众多家庭遭受精神和财产的损失。本篇拟以安倍遇刺事件为例,揭示自民党保守势力的政治违宪真相。

On July 8,2022,Shinzo Abe,the longest-serving prime minister in Japan's constitutional histo-ry,was assassinated.The assailant was a middle-aged who had been victimized by the emerging religious group known as the Unification Church.Abe became the first prime minister to be assassinated due to reli-gious motivations since the Meiji Restoration.Despite Japan's current constitution clearly mandating the separation of religion and politics,post-assassination revelations exposed various illicit dealings between influential members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party(LDP),including Abe,and the Unification Church.Since its inception,the LDP has made constitutional amendment its long-standing political objec-tive.In pursuit of this goal,conservative factions within the LDP colluded with religious groups seeking political protection,engaging in covert transactions.These actions not only contravened the constitutional principle of separation but also inflicted psychological and financial losses on numerous families.This pa-per seeks to dissect the assassination of Shinzo Abe and uncover the truth regarding the LDP's unconstitu-tional practices perpetrated by conservative forces.
