:Stranger, I'm just an ignorant atheist here. Please explain to me the difference between scientology and a religion that asks me to believe that some guy from the Middle East was the son of god, who walked on water and fed thousands with a few loaves of bread and fishes? Or a religion which some people interpret to mean that it's the will of god for women to have their clitorises chopped off? Or, for that matter, a religion in which virtually all male babies have their foreskins cut off? From my perspective, calling scientology a hustle rather than a religion because its beliefs make no logical sense is pretty damn silly. Pointing out that they are secretive, abuse the legal system to defend themselves from criticism, rake in cash from their followers, use celebrities as a marketing tool when their experience with the religion is reportedly far different to the average schmoe who hears the call, and were probably founded by a guy for whom there's good evidence that he didn't believe his own religion, is entirely justified, and people can draw their own conclusions from it. --Robert Merkel
