My POV is as a scientist and an atheist . . . .
I don't see any essential difference between Scientology and any other religion. To me they are equally sensible or equally ridiculous. But, that does not mean they don't have an important and valuable function for their adherents. I see that function as essentially an allegorical way of coming to an understanding of oneself and one's relationship to other people and the world, and of finding some kind of inner peace with the fact of death. There are many routes to these ends, and I don't see one route as being inherently any better than any other.
Anyway thanks for the education on Scientology, it's an eye-opener for me.
