...but Scientology is no religion! Hubbard made many many comments to the effect of "the easiest way to make money would be to start a religion." This is a proven fact! Religions like Christianity and Judaism have a history of faith capital, if you will. People have died for these beliefs, struggled for them, lived ascetic lifestyles to prove their faith. Scientology, as far as I've ever read of it, is just a religion for famous people like Kabbalah. A majority of them tend to have what my dad calls "Hollywood views", too.

Ya I'm inclined to agree. The first four words of this article identify it as a religion and that's quite debatable. Perhaps some more neutral wording can be used? Unless there's some kind of consensus on Scientology being classified as a religion? But based on what I've read on the talk page, Scientology being labeled as a religion isn't a popular idea here :p. (with great reason) [[User:AdamV|AdamV]] 21:26, 2 December 2010 (EST)
