After the war, his network of fascist war criminals buying their way out of prosecution - which tied in to a group supported by the US and staffed by Nazis, the World Anti-Communist League - created several enterprises, and the so-called Unification Church was literally just one of their political outlets. A combination of a wave of fad interest in New Age cults, PLUS, and more importantly, the way the UC could be used as a vehicle to launder stolen money being siphoned out of Japan, produced the phenomenon that became the UC/Washington Times/various front groups complex we see now.
From the plants and terrain I saw in Cecille B. DeMille films, I can confidently assert that Man's first home, Eden, was similar to Southern California.

Ironically, people like him tend to be supported by the Unification "church's" vehicles like The Washington Times.
