3 major institutions that always manipulate and exploits the human race are religions, politics and money.These 3 major institutions are working together to bring down mankind.It is a sophisticated form of mind control that train you to think that you can’t live without it. Pay attention to the men behind religion such as the clergyman, pope, imam and rabbi, the men behind politics such as politicians, head of states like King,Emperor, President, Prime minister, Dictator and maximum leader without official titles, men behind the money such as businessmen,owner of company, chairman, president, CEO or director of corporations. What have they done for you? Nothing. More over, All of these three are working against you. You couldn’t even afford to pay your health care because of money problem. People died in war because of political and religious problem. Worse, we are so divided and we couldn’t even unite because of our these 3 tragedies of humanity. Respect is not for who you are but for your religious, political and money status. No body is going to be safe because of this. Human race can’t find true happiness through religions, politics and money. Human race will be truly happy when there is no religions, no politics and no money. Religions and politics will control your mind and lead you to exploitations and destruction. Money will also control your mind and exploits you, leads you to corruption, false happiness called rich and ends up in poverty. Money is root of all evil and money can’t buy you happiness. By the way capitalism sucks and religions and politics are even worst.

When the local candidate you talked with, said “Look at America. Look at France. Can you tell me that Christianity is not a large part of their political power?” Clearly, this person knows nothing about France.
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905_French_law_on_the_Separation_of_the_Churches_and_the_State
Since 1905, religions and the republic are separated in France.

I just found the website for Takanori Yoshida. It is definitely worth a look (while it lasts):

Brief update on how the election went:
After all that hype the Happiness Realization Party campaign ended in a farce. Despite fielding hundreds of candidates they didn’t win a single seat. Their best chance should have been in the proportional representative “hirei” seats (where komeito get all of their votes) but very, very few voted for them at all. Their % of hirei votes ranged from 0.51% in Tokyo to a rather unspectacular peak of 0.87% in Shikoku. The election is probably the closest we will ever get for a feel of how many “real believers” they have in Japan. A quick tally of their votes across each of the 11 hirei blocks gives me 459,387 voters (about 0.66% of all voters and a much smaller percentage of the population). Surely Okawa can no longer claim a believer base of over 10 million any more! to put that in to context, Komeito (who is supported by the Sokagakkai religeous group) won 11.6% of the hirei vote (8,054,047 votes). Needless to say, neither Okawa nor Dr. Nakamatsu were successful in being elected through the hirei system.

Even their their more famous candidates weren’t able to bring in the swinging voters:
Kazuya Daimon in Tokyo 7 (songwriter for Hikaru Genji and Hiromi Go) won a miserly 2,401 votes out of 278,933. Nagazuma (a young, charismatic candidate from the DPJ won the seat safely)
Masashi Ishikawa in Kanagawa 14 (head of the New York branch) wasn’t much better with 2,713 votes out of 290,123. This seat was also won by the DPJ candidate, Motomura, by a landslide. I suppose Ishikawa can be happy that he wasn’t the worst preforming candidate in this seat. There was a guy called Takanori Yoshida (who based his campaign on the fact that whales ate too many fish and so should be commercially killed) only scraped together 1,737 votes.
