Most of these are buildings of NRM, while others are of more established religions.

Thanks for the update, Saya!
Thank you for this post, Saya-san.
nunu
I think most of them look freaky. Haha They are mostly buildings of weird freaky new religions.
Anyway thank you for your comments!
I think they're creepy... I mean, I'm ok with freedom of religion, but you may be cautious with that. I don't know if everybody know about the sarin gas in tokyo subway incident, long time ago. And there have been another strange and bizarre events related to this strange religions. Freaky and creepy （≧ヘ≦ ）I didn't know they were so many buildings like that in Japan!
Thanks again for your interesting posts, Sayasan!
but the sanctuary and tower kinda weird....very weird.
By the way,thank for your post saya-san.
No offense but it's resembling shooting star cannon when i look at it.
Nice post as always and some suggestion if you don't mind Saya-san.
Why not making a vote which your new religion favorite building from all this pictures ?.
Just curious about everyone aesthetic view about these buildings.
These buildings have "unique" architectures and make me want to travel to Japan more!
Thanks for posting this, Saya-chan!
Anyway, do you know something about kamikakushi or maybe the places where the 'kamikakushi' often occurs?
^^
I do have to say I prefer to know people and their beiefs before any further judgement. After all, I belong to a new religion (Druid here), and mistrust can certainly be unfounded.

another time it's a bit creepy since it is used by NRM.
remind me of a game from shin megami tensei series called devil survivor.
The location is not that far from my house.
They aren't Christian.
And we all know that Christianity is the one true faith.
So everything else has to be creepy. Ok?
