The Supreme Court currently posesses the ability to rule popular beliefs as religion or cult. Scientology has been passed as a "bona fide" religion, when it was only established about 50 years ago, when its founder Ron L. Hubbard began writing books on his theories. In the meantime, the Pagan beliefs, which have been around longer than Christianity, are still considered cults. Each time they have gone to the Supreme Court arguing their case, they are denied. Should the Supreme Court be able to approve some as true religions while branding others as cults? Wasn't this country established on the idea of freedom of religion?
