Scientology is simply not a religion, it does not deserve to be anyways. They way are way closer to cult than they will ever be to religion and I do not oppose Scientology due to their beliefs, but rather due to the fact they run their organization in a insane way.
The church of Scientology teach anything to make you become a better person through small expensive steps. And as you raise in rating in the church you will get closer to find out about Xenu. Yes Xenu the alien overlord that took people from overcrowded plants and blew them up with hydrogen bombs in a volcano on earth. The souls then wandered around on earth lost and confused because they also got brainwashed so they didn't remember who they were. Then they inhabited us humans eventually and that is why we are so lost and confuse this day today, and the only way to fix that is to join Scientology. To me this seems really insane, but I don't mind that. They can believe whatever they want, we have a freedom of religion that applies for everyone, but religion should be free. Scientology is not free, not even close. You spend a such insane amount of money reaching for the top you will struggle financially. Why should you pay for the teachings? There are freezone organizations that teach Scientology beliefs for free without any of them dark sides of the true Scientology organization, I have no problems with them.
The founder of Scientology, L.Ron Hubart once said: "if I wanted to make a million bucks I would start my own religion". And that is what he did, and he got rich because of it. Rich because of his religion. Rich because his religion got tax exempt status even though having massive income. How can this be? How can this be right? It is not, but if you say its not Scientology sues you. That is what they do they sue people opposing them to silence them. They threaten as well as to scare you away from bothering Scientology. A "fair game" policy they have (according to them used to have) said that you could do whatever you want to an "SP" to silence them. An SP being a Suppressive Person, this would include anyone that is a danger to Scientology. I am SP for writing this. This policy was canceled due to the bad PR it gave the church, but actually it wasn't it was just renamed and performed more discreetly. And this they get away with this day today.
I could go on about Scientology forever, but I feel you should read some for your own on other links that have all the info written down. It is definitely worth educating yourself about the dangers of Scientology, they have killed in the past and they might kill again. So if you think to yourself now, "good god" then just spend some minutes of your day reading on about this subject. It definitely opened my eyes, I'm sure it will open yours. Scientology is a danger to society, not their beliefs, but the way the church is run. Religion is free, Scientology is not.
