I need to know if scientology is an universal or an ethnic religion. Please I need some support for the answer. A good explanation.

Its universal.
Its non-denominational (anyone of any faith can attend).
And its world wide. According to ReligiousTolerance.org
"There are now over 7,300 Scientology groups, missions and churches in 163 countries around the world servicing some 10 million individuals. And 87,000 Scientology Volunteer Ministers, help in their communities and in times of disaster."
http://www.religioustolerance.org/scientol1.htm
Altho the "10 million" number has been called into question. Apparently Scientology considers someone a member for life altho 62% of the people tend to take the first couple of cheaper courses and then leave (like I did).
Its also called into doubt by national census figures but since 53% of scientologists are christian they would probably answer a census as christian even though scientology still counts them in its numbers also.

For puropses of the question, it is a universalizing religion. Scientologists seek to spread their beliefs to as many people as possible across the globe and have much of their works translated into dozens of different languages. Websites and references for and against Scientology will document this.

hi! Islam is not any doubt a ordinary faith.you're able to realize it incredibly in case you're able to've finished even one night analyze on islam.anyhow ISLAM IS ordinary by way of fact of FOLLOWING motives: a million.At quite a few factors in Qura'n the verse starts off as "O human beings".If islam became only for a race it may've suggested "O Arabs".which isn't suggested in any verse or for any race. 2.it incredibly is written in islamic historic past that on the time of HOLY PROPHET(PBUH) all people became unfastened to fulfill the Prophet and ask to connect islam.no longer only one race. 3.Even right you may now see muslims are unfold everywhere globally, there are black muslims white muslims and asian muslims are'nt there?.Plus many are reverting to islam from each and every faith and area. so which you notice islam is a ordinary faith supported by using functional info.

(the following statement is paraphrased from one of pauls letters i think corinthians as i have it memorized but havent had to recite it in awhile so its probably inaccurate but i did my best)
"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound scripture... they will suround themselfs with many false teachers to tell them what there itching ears want to hear."

A universal scam.

neither, it is a cult...a fringe mindset held by very weak-minded individuals although some are highly prominent and respected citizens...but easily molded and indoctrinated to believe and accept the most irrational things.
