Not sure who you are but you are correct.
I have been answering questions about Scientology on this forum for the past several months and am a Scientologist
(34 years and counting)
This is my most popular answer to the most common question,
What is Scientology? It has been picked as best answer many times.

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable personal estate, when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 10 million Scientologists in more than 163 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

If you are a Christian you believe it is not ok for a man or WOMAN to be gay. When the bible mentions " lie with another man" it means the race of man not literally a man and not a woman. I watch porn all the damn time and its a sin because of the lust involved whether they are gay or straight. When i watch a 3 some of 2 women and a man thats a sin too. Its just human instinct to masturbait and there is no lying about that folks. Its in our DNA to want sex. Just like a dog humping a teddy bear. We sin and we are forgiven, thats why God is so great! Its abusing him if you continuosly do it and feel no shame then just keep asking for forgiveness. He will forgive in any case so dont worry too much! God put that in your DNA

why do you claim all religions are good-yet reject Jesus for your salvation from sins-why was I delivered from your cult-and why do your cult members have to give everything they have to the culd-except for the rich boys like you that only have to give so many million to join-thanks from your capitol clearwater florida and I have delivered many to Jesus and true salvation from your cult-which brainwashes to get clears in mind and not in soul-but does clear out their bank accounts-peace in Jesus amazing grace, that saved a wretch like me.
