Abstract

What is scientology? The answer is as simple or as complex as the one asking and the one answering wants to make it. Since its creation in 1952, scientology has been seen by some as a religion, others as a cult, still others as a joke. Is it, as its creator L. Rob Hubbard asserted, a philosophy? Or is it just an extension of Hubbard's career as a science fiction writer? Either way, more than 50 years later scientology continues to be at the center of a heated debate of what defines religion, celebrity, cults, man's origins and exploitation. As recently as last month, the debate over scientology flared up in Europe as the philosophy's common intersection of celebrity and culture clashed. Actor Tom Cruise's ties to scientology came into conflict with Germany's criticism on the group, which it sees as a cult.
