Scientology is a religion by the very nature of its philosophy and system
of
Ethics, Technology, and Administration, all of which is designed and set up
for life to
free itself from entrapment, and restore total freedom to the spirit.

"But one of the oldest things that was ever given into the training of
wise men
that I know of was simply this-the basic faith in which the individual has
been trained
and the basic political allegiance of the individual must not be tampered
with by the
Order training him. And it was the Order itself which laid that down.
That's an old, old
one. They were training very wise men and that was the first thing that
they made sure
not to do. They did not tamper with these things. If the individual cared
to alter these
things himself nobody was even vaguely persuading him. It might be in the
course of
his study that he found certain things that men did laughable, or
confusing, or he
found certain things that men did remediable-but nobody was standing there
trying to
lead him into a higher religious or political conviction. And that is the
case with
Scientology."
Extract from Phoenix
Lectures.
by L. Ron Hubbard
(The celebrated lecture
series
given by L. Ron Hubbard to
the
Professional Course, Phoenix,
Arizona, in July 1954.)
L. Ron Hubbard's treatise on Scientology as a religious philosophy and a
religious
practice is given in Hubbard Communications Bulletin (H.C.O.B) of 21 June,
1960
"Religious Philosophy and Religious Practice" (as revised 18 April, 1967).
It is highly important that all promotional literature and Church
literature reflect
the fact that Scientology is a religion.
For instance one promotional piece of recent time stated "Scientology is
a
philosophy and a science." There was no mention that Scientology was a
religion.
If any statements are made in any literature which reflect that
Scientology is
other than a religious philosophy, an appropriate condition must be
assigned to the
party so making same.
