Happy Science: Scam or scheme? Anonymous 2017-06-25 05:02:41 Post No. 19199571 [Report]

Happy Science (Kōfuku no Kagaku) is a religious movement founded in 1986 by Ryuhō Okawa with over 12 million members as of 2011. Members supposedly worship the deity 'El Cantare' as well as following the teachings of figures such as Buddha, Jesus, and a mishmash of others. Membership requires a $10 donation referred to as 'Happiness Planting'.
Besides their religious amenities, Happy Science runs other outlets. These include the following:

Educational facilities such as Happy Science University in Japan and Happy Science Australia Shonkinshan
A far-right expansionist political party named the Happiness Realisation Party
An entertainment division labeled New Star Productions
Promotional idol group Anjewel

An article on their website 'The Liberty Web' claims that members summoned and interviewed the spirit of the former Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo at their headquarters in on January 8th of 2014.
How much influence does this group really have? Is it just a scam to make money or is Ryuho Okawa up to something more sinister?
