Why is Scientology not a religion

Scientology at first glance have all what a religion should have. There are rituals, symbols, Sunday Liturgy ... But to have a worship, in this word should be - God. In fact, Scientology has no creed or any points of contact with the transcendental in any sense. There is no mention of God or Salvation ... nothing!
The question is whether religion must necessarily have a connection with the transcendental? And the answer is ... Yes!

Namely, if we set Scientology against for example communism as an ideology ... And there we see the symbols of communism, there were even apostles (Marx, Engels, Lenin), it has its final goal (communism / classless society), has its own holy book (manifesto), has its own philosophy ... but there is no connection with the transcendental and therefore it is not a religion but an ideology.

Originally I looked at Scientology as yet another New Age movement. In this day and age when there is a reign of spiritual hunger, the New Age is from the religion of consumerism has become an instant religion, just as we are becoming instant civilizations. Take a mix of religions, make a cocktail, take what you amiss, the principal is that it is good for you - and make your own spirituality.

But Scientology is not mentioning anywhere, nor touch the spirituality. One monk who is also known for his ecumenical and interreligious work met with a member of the Church of Scientology. His conclusion was as follows: Scientology not a religion (because it has no connection with the transcendental), and his followers are manipulated so that some psychological mystery is revealed to them.

Freemasons And Conspiracy Theories

Because of its secrecy, the Freemasons have long been a subject in discussion of various conspiracy theories, in which they are portrayed as power-wielders who want to dominate the world and conduct international policies.

Conspiracy theorists in their thinking often associated symbols and numbers to "deciphered" Masonic puzzle, but often it turns out that these overlapping random.

Historically, Masons are always accused of wanting to create a new society based on ideals of liberty, equality, fraternity, separate church and state, and religious tolerance. This above does not sound so bad, but such a state would only be the artificial creation in service of Masonic nepotism.

Conspiracy theorists often supporting their thoughts on the Freemasons, with the and the real, historical activities of Lodge P2 (propaganda due)

One conspiracy theory is that the Great Seal of the United States contains Masonic symbols. This is true, but as this is because many of the founders were declared as Freemasons, so this was nothing but a form of promoting their own ideas and principles. Great Seal and symbolism are just a reflection of the time without any hidden encrypted message.

The New World Order and the Illuminati

The theory of the new world order means the belief that an organization, in this case the Illuminati seeks the realization of the centralization of world politics and the creation of a secular world government.

New World Order is a totalitarian organization, and its organizers absolute power. Some of the specific objectives are abolition of private property and rights to possession of weapons, all elections are controlled by the United Nations, the Constitution of the United States replaced the UN Charter, the abolition of home schooling curriculum and the introduction of the world.

The Illuminati order approach to this target secretly. Their method of reaching the world power is not through military power or a public revolt, but the operation behind the scenes. Illuminati never appear in public, they are working secretly - infiltrate their members into high government positions of powerful countries using bribery and blackmail. This is the rule of the invisible hand.

Members of the Illuminati don't have the goal to achieve world government during their life, but gradually carry out the preparation and conduct of world politics toward centralization, with the United Nations as the headquarters for all operations. Manipulation of the media plays a central role, as well as setting the key people at the head of important organizations.
