scientology is not a religion. Buddhism is not a religion. Pastafarianism is not a religion.
Why do I say this? I don't give a shit what's "legally" a religion, which is pretty much any belief which fills a void in a persons soul in the way belief in a God will.
Scientology as far as I can tell is for profit and doesn't allow people to leave. Religion should be freely given and freely left.
Buddhism doesn't have a deity. Thus I don't consider it a religion. I consider it a lifestyle.
Pastafarianism was built on the satirizing of Christianity. Thus it's not a religion because religion shouldn't be founded on the principle of tearing something else down. And because it's a fucking stupid notion anyways.

Oh okay, I guess I haven't really known what it is
Scientology was founded by a failed science fiction writer from the 50s as a way to get tax free money to publish his own shitty books. Since then it has evolved into a controlling manipulative cult that bullies its members into giving them money and not letting them leave. There are multiple articles out there written by former scientologists that had to be written under first name only or a completely fake name out of legitimate fear the scientology church will find them.
I am not astonished he did that. He is not very smart (look what he passed on to his, well... less than brilliant kids) and he is rich af, so he is the perfect victim of this bizarre cult.

Sincere_milkshake i highly doubt that where did you hear of this. He does not practice scientology.
Wikipedia isn't online gossip. And the fact that the principal was fired doesn't change the fact that they had a Scientology school

It had some fundamentals of scientology and some teachers belived in scientology but it was also montessori and other types of teachings it wasnt considered a scientology school you may want to re read the wiki about it. And the reason i mentioned the principal being fired was because radar online got their info from a fired employee wich may have been disgruntled
Yes, but it's technically legal because it's not employment.
And I (and others I'm sure) don't consider scientology a reason for what I've stated in some other comment.
