German Government Says Scientology Not a Real Religion
Scientology has attracted many Hollywood elites such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta. But at least one group isn’t impressed by the burgeoning religion: German officials.
According to the Associated Press (AP) earlier this year the countries officials initially refused to allow Cruise’s movie to film at a site in Germany.
Recently they went a step further, announcing that they will seek to ban the Los Angeles-based religion in their country.
The German government considers Scientology as a commercial enterprise that preys on gullible citizens and not as a legitimate religion the AP reports.
Sabine Weber, president of the Church of Scientology in Berlin, has a different take on the decision.
