What has the Scientology Church to do with religion?
I admit that if one hasn't joined them, one wouldn't know exactly about Scientology Church. But it seems more like a business to me than religion. Can somebody explain the concept briefly?

While Scientology certainly has taken on a commercial look and feel at times it is indeed a religion all its own. First started by L. Ron Hubbard Scientology purports to share some tenets with other Eastern religions such as Buddhism in that scientologists believe in the concept of rebirth. This means they believe that people are born again and again into different lives, but with the same soul.
Another tenet is that man is basically good, but can go wrong and that perfect enlightenment is attained by good works here on earth. Once attaining total enlightenment you are able to head off to take a place next to the religion’s god which is called the Eighth Dynamic. It appears it really is a religion, but they have some other tenets that are a bit different from other organized religions
