A rather monotheistic worldview inspired by the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon and championed by an international community of adherents. Unificationism has its roots in the Judeo-Christian as well as Daoist and Confucian traditions. As such, Unificationism might also be called a social movement as it does not restrict its concerns and activities to purely religious matters.
The Unification movement, originated by the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon in the 1950s in Korea, is not a monolithic movement anymore. Succession to his leadership, successfully asserted by now by his spouse Hak Ja Han Moon, is contended by some of their adult children. Vested members are left to guess how the future of the Unification movement will unfold.
We hope so. Religion plays an important role in people’s lives. In this day and age, new religious movements are not guaranteed to make it. The old Abrahamic religions are so popular because they are accepted to operate as organizing functions. Religion scripts the use of time and activities for its followers throughout their lives.
Without religion, a lot of folks would probably be a bit uncomfortable with having to choose for themselves a meaning of life, and with that structure their adult living over an average of 55 years. A daunting task for anyone.
