Religious Organizations Law
The Religious Organizations Law (宗教団体法, Shūkyō Dantai Hō) was a Japanese law passed by the National Diet in 1939 and enacted in 1940.[1][2] The law gave the state authority control over religious organizations.[3] Following Japan's defeat in World War II, the Religious Organizations Law was repealed on December 28, 1945, and replaced by the "Religious Corporations Ordinance".[4]
