Sort of. Scientology doesn't directly address God, but then again Buddhism doesn't even have a God, yet it is recognized as a religion.

The closest scientology gets is in one of the ways of looking at the world, through the prism of survival urges called "dynamics" there are eight:

1st dynamic - survival of yourself
2nd dynamic - survival of your family (including thru sex)
3rd dynamic - survival of your groups (clan, tribe, country)
4th dynamic - survival of your species
5th dynamic - survival of all living things
6th dynamic - survival of all physical things
7th dynamic - survival of all spiritual things (thetans)
8th dynamic - survival of "everything else" (God)

Each dynamic is a subset of the next higher dynamic.

Scientology doesn't directly addres the 8th dynamic, but it is said that as you get the lower dynamics in good shape, the 8th becomes clear. Yeah, riiiight!

I'll answer your questions as best I can, I've been out quite a while and am a bit rusty...

Do you think Scientology is more like psychology than religion?

I am being honest here, I don't know all that much about other religions. If Buddhism doesn't have a God then what are all those statues of Buddha all over the world? I figured Buddha was either a God or a Prophet, and by definition if he is a Prophet then isn't he evangelizing on behalf of his God? Again thanks

Martin Gardener's 1957 book "Fads and Fallicies in the Name of Science" (Dover) has some interesting things to say about "Dianetics" among other things.
