What scientologist believe about.......
FOUNDER
Founded by L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) Founded 1954 in California. Current headquarters in Los Angeles, California
WRITINGS
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and others by Hubbard. The way to happiness.
GOD
Does not define GOd or Supreme Being, but rejects biblical description of God. Everyone is a "thetan," an immortal spirit with unlimited powers over its own universe, but not all are aware of this.
JESUS
Jesus is rarely mentioned in Scientology. Jesus was not the Creator, nor was he an "operating thetan" (in control of supernatural powers, cleared from mental defects). Jesus did not die for sins.
HOLY SPIRIT
THe Holy Spirit is not a part of this belief.
SALVATION
No sin or need to repent. Salvation is freedom from reincarnation. One must work with an "auditor" on his "engrams" (hang-ups) to acheive the state of "clear" then progress up the "bridge to a total freedom"
DEATH
Hell is a myth. people who clear of engrams become operating thetans.
OTHER BELIEFS
Members observe birth of Hubbard and anniversary of publication of Dianetics. COntroversy follows the group worldwide. Time magazine and Readers Digest have published damaging exposes, Organizations related to Scientology include Narconon, Criminon, Way to Happiness Foundation, WISE, Hubard College of Administration, Applied Scholastics.

This would be classified as a "cult" I think. If not than it is a religion that is pretty dumb in my opinoin.
If im not mistaken Tom Cruise gave all proceeds of the movie "Last Samarai" to this organization.
Im not really sure of anything else about these people
on scale of wierd and evil they got nothing on mormons
