The Cosmic Church of the Divine Light (天成神光会, Tensei Shinkokai) is a cult led by Chairman Yuudai Kuramochi, whose followers include Mamoru Suwa and Shino Hazuki, and Issei Hatano, a former follower. Both the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light and the Meiwa Party are involved in funding Project Noah, a scheme originally devised by the Committee of 300 which is now being managed by N.O.Z.O.M.I. Their kotodama (slogan/mantra believed to have mystical powers when said) is “May the divine light save you.” (神光の救うやれ。; Shinkō no Sukuu Yare.)

The Cosmic Church of the Divine Light is also behind the New Generation Madness, with its followers Suwa and Shino being the serial killers, acting on orders from Kuramochi. Due to the increase in biorhythms in Shibuya's inhabitants since the First Melt, the number of followers in the cult has proliferated considerably.

Similarities to real life

As a Japanese new religious movement or shinshūkyō (新宗教) in Japanese, the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light has parallels to real-world Japanese new religious movements, several of which have political parties affiliated with them. Most notably, the biggest real-world new religious movement in Japan is the Soka Gakkai, which has a political party loosely affiliated with it, the Komeito Party, the third largest political party in Japan.
