Hi Deku

Scientology is a religion that was literally created by a sci-fi writer. Like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster it was obviously fake, but for some reason people believed it and the creator found a way to profit off of those beliefs.

Thanks SageHarpuia. So how did the religion get so popular? Did a bunch of sci-fi fans get into it and spread the news to everyone else in the world?

Scientology wasn't even a religion until they figured out they could get some tax exempt status if they call themselves a religion so they slapped the word "church" on their buildings. It was a running joke for them at the time.

A large part of it is based on therapy, detox treatment, and a general study of the mind that's reminiscent of the psychology field they claim to hate.

Scientology isn't nearly as popular as people would have you believe. The only reason anyone has even heard that word is because the group targeted high profile celebrities like Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Leah Remini.
