I think the suggestion that the thread title badly needs altering is a very good one.

In some definitions Scientology is a religion. Religion is essentially a matter of structuring the way people deal with various aspects of their lives, most of which aren't much to do with spirituality, but including those which are.

Labelling something a religion doesn't in any way mean it is necessarily a good thing. Human beings are capable of turning even good religions into something terrible. And it can happen the other way round.
