Normally I would agree with you. However, even the founder of Scientology didn't consider it to be a real religion.

I'm not familiar with the German constitution but it could be politically damaging for them to totally ban Scientology! They risk setting a precedent and alienating people who do not even follow Scientology.
Yeah, I am with you here. I don't think it is a good move to "ban" the religion. However, I see nothing stopping them from prosecuting the fraud aspect of this "religion".
