Is this true? I don't think it has anything to do with their religion but more the pressure these people are under. I don't know if Japan has a benefits system for unemployed people (will look it up) but I have seen photos of the homeless in Japan showing the stark reality of being out of work. Course, not all homeless are on the streets for that reason.
