Church of Scientology is not recognized as a religion anywhere, except in the U.S. where they established thanks to the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States where is the guarantee of religious freedom. Religion has become clear from pragmatism to get all the benefits Tax enjoyed by religious institutions. So what is Scientology?
Scientology is essentially a way to derive a large amounts of money from followers or victims.
How?
I mentioned above a monk who speaks about their psychological secrets. Scientology is namely using dangerous psychotherapy which essentially operates on the principle of brainwashing. So through psychotherapy they are weakening the mind of a follower so the mind becomes from rational to a irrational state. And still it is not difficult to manipulate the followers, not even to sell them a absurd story of Xenu.
Unfortunately here we can not talk about any kind of religious freedom because there is no religion here! Scientology is thus a big scam of good living, great leaders of this "religion." In Germany, Scientology is under constant surveillance by German intelligence services, in Italy are many processes against the Scientology Church and the United States has launched many investigations of economic crimes, theft and even murder. Many leaders of this "religion" end up in jail.
People who are drawn into Scientology brainwashing, and were able to back out have launched sort of war against Scientology on the Internet to alert people to the devastating consequences of entering into this "religion".
Scientology manipulation (how dangerous is Scientology?)

Scientolo
gy 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.
Scientology, the basic principles and a closely guarded secret ...
Scientology is a philosophical religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard. A former writer of science fiction novels founded the first Church of Scientology of California 1954th in mind autopsychological method which has grown from his earlier thought of self-help system 'Dianetics'.
It is important to point out that people are not attracted to Scientology by telling them an incredible SF story which seems to have fallen out of Sirius. But ... the story of Xenu is told only when followers of Scientology are already for long time brainwashed, so this story can be served to them. Because, hand on heart this story could be swallowed only by a small portion of the population as those no lifers, which are dressed in Jedi suits and believe in the force.
Theology (let's call it so) of the Church of Scientology, which comes to recruiting new followers in short that it could perhaps be described as Audi's slogan "Vorsprung durch Technik" or progress through technology. Scientology was initially established as a secular philosophy. Shortly after the founding of Scientology as a philosophy, Scientology is formed into a religion or applied religious philosophy.
