Nope. My religion is the Constitution.

The closest I can get to Scientology is Thomas Jefferson’s maxim that:

“The best way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them.”

Whatever they believe is their business, not mine. So long as they’re not holding me up, live and let live.

And no matter how weird they might appear to others: If the Founding Dads thought it good enough to tell Congress to keep Their nose out of it, why should I even Have an Opinion?

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,”

Religion V Cult? Christianity itself was viciously attacked as a dangerous Cult not all that long ago. If Scientology turns out to be a worthless, dangerous hustle, a Real Free Marketplace of Ideas will finish it off in time, anyway.
