Religion is not free either. Priests always ask for some contributions. If you don't participate, how can you call that you are a part of this religion. If you can think about your god and claim that you are, then others can think about science without spending a penny and claim that they are scientists.
What religion doesn't ask people to participate in their rituals? Pretty much every single religion does that.I agree. Scientology is a business that hijacks human nature. Chrisitianity should not be attacked, neither should any religion for that matter. PEOPLE have this tendency to flock into mindless groups. Or knowing groups. Or whatever, but the groups happen-- whatever the name. Some highly insightful and greedy person figured out how to hijack that in a simple way for financial gain and brainwash people, but within legal limits. Religion is free, $cientology is not. Scientology, in it's present form, is incompatible with a free society. There are global protests to expose the malpractices of this cult.[2] It could be said that, compared to the religions that do not pass around collection plates or suggest offerings, christianity and many other religions are greedy too. $cientology is a massive money-devouring death machine. enough said. priests ask for contributions true however they do not demand participation in their cult-like ordeals. scientology however is non-compatible with other religions as it was the most recently developed and is focused on the basis of other life in the universe. While we're on the subject though, scientology is given an unfair non taxed area.
