It's more of a cult than a religion though they have in common that they appeal to the weak of mind. Google "Scientology" or "L. Ron Hubbard" and you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know on the subject, LittleAsianGuy.

Not true if your are a celebrity. Scientology actively pursues celebrities, often providing lavish incentives. It is in essences a rich man's religion, a way to wash away the guilt of hording personal wealth and possessions from those who have less. But then what religion is different?

Started by a Sci-Fi writter, wouldn't really class it as a religion unless you consider Jedi one as well :p
What Jedi isn't a relegion? It is one of the coolest ones I have seen in the movies. I think that religions are just a bunch of mumbo jumbo anyways. Sometimes it makes good entertainment but I dont take any of it seriously.

You pay lots of money for stupid courses that tell you have problems which can only be solved by taking more expensive courses.
They told I would kill myself in six months if I didn't take one of their courses. That was in 1977, And since I didn't take the course but am still here, their "science" must not be all that accurate.
As posted above, download the South Park episode "In The Closet". It must have hit a nerve because there were a lot of lawsuits threatened. And good for Parker and Stone for having the balls (and money) to tell the cult to fuck off.

Oddly enough in England, and I believe Canada Jedi is recognized as a legit religion. More people answered Jedi on recent census's than more "established" or mainstream religions. In England more people answered Jedi than Hindu or Taoist for example. The U.K. Census Bureau finally decided that you can't discard somebodies answer because you think they're kidding or discount somebodies religion just because you don't consider it a real religion. Wika and paganism are also recognized.

The full body of knowledge that comprises the Scientology religion is contained in more than forty million spoken and written words on the subject—all by L. Ron Hubbard, the source and founder of Scientology.

I'd edit it down to just four words:"Give me money, sucker".

Sounds like any normal money cult. The stance they take on psychiatry is especially useful in keeping members in the dark and to fear anyone that can actually give them help. They blame psychiatry for actions of guys like hitler which in fact had nothing to do with it and his views were more darwin influenced if anything.

What I find especially unnerving about cults is the amount of people that follow mindlessly.
