If the unclean spirit went out of the Government, of each Japan and the U.S., it could come back with seven worse spirits unless economy is sufficiently improved in a year or two.
SECTION I: ECONOMICS AFTER POLITICS
If you think that there is no problem while 40% of the people in a democratic nation is poor, you do not need economics.
If you think that there is no problem while 60% of the people in a non-democratic nation is poor, you do not need economics.
If you think 10% of rich people with power commanding police and military, like in today's China, the past Soviet Union, or the Roman Empire, can completely control 90% poor workers, you do not need economics.
And, every economist agrees to the notion that expectation and judgement on future by consumers and investors change the status of economy.
Indeed political situations and expectations have a strong influence on people's expectation and judgement on future and thus on economy.
Accordingly, it is not a simple theory on dynamics of demand and supply that decides the status of economy but how democracy is executed nowadays in the 21st century.
(If the U.S. economy is improved, it is apparently due to a kind of the Obama effect.)
SECTION II: POLITICS AFTER CHRISTIANITY
It was found by academic researchers, namely anthropologists, that any society in any era of mankind has a concept of a god or gods as its guardian(s).
Social order of mankind was originally built around a god or gods. (Old men were naturally regarded as close to a god or gods than younger ones.)
But why?
It is because all the wild and ambitious fools who tried to be a leader or a king without respecting a god or gods inevitably failed and lost in any society of any era, specifically since the era before the Stone Age.
Only those who revered and feared God enough succeeded and won to be a leader or a king.
That is why even ancient Greeks and Romans needed myths, religions, gods, and religious ceremonies to maintain their prosperity.
Originally in human population, first a god or gods were revered, and then people started to compete to be a leader or a king through political or armed competition
So, that is why the E.U. needs the Vatican; America needs democracy and Israel; and Japan needs Shintoism shrines and Buddhist temples, while they could produce unlimited quantity of products and goods in addition to money based on their intellectual, industrial, and military power.

Indeed, it is said in Japan traditionally that there are seven enemies waiting for him if a man steps out of the gate of his house.
But, if seven samurais combined, they could conquer evil force that have harassed poor farmers like in the movie of Akira Kurosawa, which was subsequently adopted to Star Wars.
Anyway, Christianity starts when you leave a privileged religious organization of any sort, in my humble interpretation.
Luk 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Luk 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luk 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luk 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
