Moon was born and grew up in a Japan-occupied Korea. He started to preach his religious teachings back in 1945 or 1946 before he personally encountered difficulties with communism. After Moon's torture and imprisonment by the North Korean communists from 1947 to 1950 he was not reported to have engaged primarily in political agitation, but rather in daily worship. Furthermore, he was barred from the Presbyterian Church as early as 1948. This ban was because of his different religious teachings.
