Church of Scientology



History: The Church of Scientology was founded in the 1950s by science fiction writer L. Ron
Hubbard. It emerged from Hubbard's earlier self-help system called Dianetics. The church has
faced criticism and controversy over the years, including legal battles and allegations of abusive
practices.



Leadership: The Church of Scientology is led by David Miscavige, who has been the chairman of
the Religious Technology Center since the death of Hubbard in 1986. Miscavige has been a
controversial figure, with former members accusing him of abusive behavior.



Basic Beliefs: Scientology teaches that humans are immortal spiritual beings (thetans) who
have forgotten their true nature. Through auditing and other practices, followers aim to achieve
spiritual enlightenment and freedom from negative past experiences (engrams).



Social Impact: Scientology has had a significant social impact, with its celebrity members
bringing attention to the movement. However, it has also faced criticism and controversy, with
some former members alleging abuse and exploitation.
