I don't really see Scientology as a religion, just a pyramid scheme.
Not too long ago, in an American mall, I saw Scientologists conducting a test to see how "stressed" a person was. It was advertised as free and along with the free test came "free" advice (aka solicitation into the club). They are using this e-meter to web people into their cult with an innocent-sounding purpose ("Oh, we just want to see how stressed you are!"). I'm sure that you, me, and most people on this forum would know that the e-meter is a joke, but other people..well..don't. Should we allow their ignorance? There's really no right answer to that question, but I don't think that the matter should be dropped because it might offend people.
