What the hell makes you believe that torturing and killing a woman (Lisa McPherson) is a religious sacrament?!
What makes you believe that killing the pets of human rights activists should be tolerated because a "religion" does it? And stalking the children of human rights activists to and from school? And running the husband of a human rights activist off the road, trying to kill him? And suing one of their victims with 18 frivolous lawsuits?
Human rights activists protest and picket the Scientology crime syndicate because of that organizations CRIMES AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, not because of any alledged "religion" (which, according to Scientology's founder, Scientology IS NOT).
When the sinister Scientology organization framed the human rights activist Mark Bunker for crimes that had not even been commited (let alone Bunker responsible for!), was that an act protested by "religious tolerance?!"
Hubbard insisted that his "clinic" (Scientology) only be called a "religion" for tax-exemption status and protection against practicing medicine without a liscence. At the time this was done, Scientologists thought it was a clever joke, and laughed every time someone had to put on a "clerical collar" to show the IRS. They even set aside an empty closet at every franchise and called it a "chapel:" other than keeping brooms and mops in it, the "chapel" is never used.
Scientology has no religious veneration; it has no gods; it does not pray to anything or any one; it performs no religious rites. Scientology exists only to con money out of the gullible.
A Google search on the key words "religion angle" +Hubbard will link to a letter written by Hubbard that explains exactly why he fraudulently called his sinister, criminal business a "church / religion."
