::@  Yes in the world of Buddhism SG/SGI is not a traditional SCHOOL (!), it’s an organisation or a lay movement – even SG/SGI describes itself that way. I never ever questioned the fact that its adherents perform a religious service of some sort and if you think back you were asked many times to clarify the religious practice section – okay song and dance seems part of a religious practice now but hey who am I to judge. If you now say the RELIGIOUS PRACTICE varies from country to country please do elaborate on that one – different forms of Gongyo then? I am sorry but you are contradicting yourself more and more. You do seem to forget that I know SGI/SG! If in each country they believe something different and if indeed they are not affiliated to SG, do not follow “guidances” by their leaders do elaborate on this. It’s an intriguing information that in each country they believe something different this is ground-breaking news.  It puzzles me that in other Wikipedia languages folks were able to explain all the above in one article, that is SG/SGI’s beliefs, history and its organisational structure in terms of SGI. They were even able to cater for a criticism section which got deleted in this article and not replace it with “overseas perception” over time and include exhibition dates instead.
