Look, scientologists calling scientology a religion doesn't make it so.
The word "religion" has a definition somewhere. Scientology is not
recognized as a religion.

I realize this is late and no one is likely to care, but I had to point
out in this case that it doesn't matter whether you recognize the
religion; the Church of Scientology has met the requirements of the U.S.
Government and that of the State of Florida, and is recognized by both
as a religion.
Yes, I know the story of its origins, and no I'm not a follower. It does
show that there doesn't have to be basis behind a religion... just a
sufficient number of followers.
Where did you find those requirements, I had a hard time nailing them
down. Unless there as a vague as I think.
