John Sweeney deserves only praise for such an honest and transparently human piece of investigative journalism. Hovever, ignoring for a moment some of the more sinister aspects to the behavoiur of it's adherents, Scientology is no more of a "religion" than is "positive thinking".
In fact, leaving aside all the weird ideas about our being descended from aliens and such like (which is almost as wacky as what lies at the heart of Mormonism), any mention of "Jesus" was conspicuous by its absence last night. Therefore, what I would like to know is, why is the cult of Scientology allowed to use a cross as the basis of its emblem and to call itself a "Church"?
See also my comments on the website of "World's Last Chance" (another well-meaning but wayward enterprise) back in January this year.
