Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The Asahi Shimbun newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying the government has concluded that dissolution would be appropriate given that the church had engaged in "vicious, organised and continued" activities that outweighed considerations of religious freedoms enshrined in the constitution.
30% : Some members of Kishida's party have reportedly cautioned against dissolution, however, fearing that the government could be accused of trampling on religious freedoms.
