They don't have anything to do with religion.
You just keep bringing up other things from the past that were done as if to invalidate other religions.
I did the same, outside of religion.
Scientology could become a religion, provided several conditions, but as it stands, it's a cult, and a dangerous one at that. That's what I said earlier when I stated that most religions start out as a cult.
Why is it a cult and not a religion? For one, it feeds on society, but gives nothing back. Second, it does nothing to further personal growth of the individual. Third, it actually harms the individual that wants to go back outside their influence.
Scientology is a cult that is trying very hard to fight for its continued existence be it scheme or something religious, at the cost of the individual. It's that fact that people find reprehensible.
