Of the new religions of Japan, Perfect Liberty Kyodan (kyodan means church in Japanese) is one of the most successful. Generally known as PL to its members, it is also called the “Golf Religion” because several PL churches feature rooftop driving ranges so members don’t have to travel to practice self-expression. The nickname was bestowed by outsiders, but the church accepts it, believing that by stirring curiosity, the name attracts converts to the fold.
