Scientology is a "religion" that was created and founded by the Science Fiction author L.Ron Hubbard.
"In Scientologist Views"
Scientologists belive that they can get rid of all phobias, problems, stress and guilt through a method of counciling called auditing. This auditing uses a device called an E-Metre that calculates a slight electronical current that your body naturally puts through the metre. Auditing helps you get over problems and issues that you found traumatic.
"In truth"
The other side, and a much darker aspect, is the money making scheme that ticks millions into spending all their money on the "sudo-religion". People are broken away from their loved ones as they are put through a mild brainwashing with auditing. This makes you feel insecure and to think that the only way to overcome your terrible past and prevent yourself from becoming a drug adict, or dipressed, is to totally devote your time and money to the "church". They take advantage of the insecurity they have put you in, telling you to "disconnect" from your parents, friends, and work colleagues, meaning they can not argue against the religion and the subject is totally devoted.
They use celebrities, in america especialy, to advertise the religion, these celebrities spending millions on working their way up in the church. As each auditing session costs alot of money, and reaching a higher leval of understanding and security in the church costs even more.
The only reason they have applied for being an offical Religion around the world is that if they are, they do not get taxed on the donations money that they make (which is why they dont get taxed in the USA where they are seen as an offical religion). If you look under the defenition of Religion in the dictionary, you will see that Scientology does not fit. If you look under the definition of Cult, you may find a better suiting description.
Sorry to offend the scientologists here, if there are any, as they do tend to follow people and harras people who do not agree with them.
