Not counting the brand of Sunni Islam practised by the so-called Islamic State, there is probably no religion in the world that comes in for more flak than Scientology.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Scientology is not that different from other religions. And yet, at the same time, we don't have Anglicans doing the things that are alleged to be done in Scientology, at least in the Sea Org.
Scientology is probably the most stigmatized religion in America already.
Scientology is not a white religion. It is not just for white people.
From the very beginning, when you go into Scientology your world narrows down very quickly.
I'm open to all religions. Respecting Scientology is just like respecting any other religious view.
Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn't worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The black community has to check it out and see what's there. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but you have to take a look.
Scientology is one of the least homophobic religions. It's not very interested in the body at all.
I love talking about Scientology.
I grew up with Scientology - my parents at one point were clerical. It's a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it's had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It's not a threat or some cult.
Scientology is much more accepted in Hollywood than Jesus.
