I notice many are quick to fault religion for brainwashing.
I co presented at a conference with the personal nurse who lived 14 years with L Ron Hubbord while Hubbord was developing scientology. He lived with him on the island in France, in his Queens appartment, and on his yacht.
He explained the true nature of scientology and the hypocrisy of Hubbord.
To often people don’t have the ability to sort fake religion from real and they end up throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater, discounting all religion.
