Here are some of the main points if you don't want to read the whole article. Only 583 of 712 lawmakers have responded so far.
More than 100 of all the 712 lawmakers in Japan have had some connections with the controversial Unification Church, with nearly 80 percent of them belonging to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party
The survey's results came as seven Cabinet members, as well as 20 senior vice ministers and parliamentary vice ministers, have been confirmed to have links to the church, although Kishida reshuffled his team on Wednesday in an attempt to reverse flagging public support.
One of the biggest reasons for a sharp fall in approval ratings was LDP lawmakers' lack of explanation over their political ties with the church.
Only 12 of the 20 vice ministers have admitted to having their relations with the organization in the survey, raising the possibility that the total number may increase, and the issue is almost certain to become a major point of debate in parliament when its extraordinary session begins in the fall.
Of all the 712 lawmakers, 583 have responded as of Friday. Kishida did not reply to the questionnaire.
The LDP lawmakers who admitted their ties to the church include Nobuo Kishi, Abe's younger brother who served as defense minister before the Cabinet reshuffle, and Akira Amari, a veteran parliamentarian who was one of the closest allies of the former premier.
Eleven from the Japan Innovation Party, a conservative opposition party, followed those from the LDP.
The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan had seven lawmakers, while Komeito, a junior ruling coalition partner of the LDP, the Democratic Party for the People, and Sanseito each had one such member. The remaining three are independents.
Hakubun Shimomura, a former chairman of the LDP's Policy Research Council, and Yuichiro Tamaki, head of the Democratic Party for the People, admitted to having received donations in 2016 from Sekai Nippo, a newspaper affiliated with the church.
The number of lawmakers who sold fund-raising party tickets to the church stood at 13, including former education minister Shinsuke Suematsu who raised a total of 80,000 yen ($600) between 2020 and 2021.
The survey also found 30 benefited from electoral support from the church-related bodies such as soliciting votes by phone. The number of those who attended events sponsored by them came to 71, while 43 said they had sent them messages.
