So how is it the company can “refuse to let them quit” or “force” an employee to go to a temple? What is the actual enforcement mechanism other than guilt?

You need proof of layooff (離職票) to collect you unemployment benefits. It is illegal not to issue one, but it is possible for the company can cause you some pain in issuing it.

Do you get unemployment benefits in Japan even if you quit?

Yes, but only after 3 months without a new job as opposed to immediately if laid off.
