Some interesting reading...

IS SCIENTOLOGY A RELIGION?

I'm not questioning whether or not it IS a religion. Anything can be claimed to be a religion if that is the person's belief system.

Personally, I would put it more in the category of a philosophy; the same way I would classify Buddhism.

I agree, as a note, that it is unwise for them to ban Scientology. If nothing else, it would be a political negative for them on the global scale.

Sad, but true.
I for one don't believe the teachings of Scientology. Is nit this just another propaganda Hollywood celebrities like Tom Cruise.

Scientology is not a religion. It is a cult. It's only right that Germany ban the religion. It is a conflict of interest to the Aryan people.
