I don’t think ‘faith’ is in the scientologist lexicon, as most of us understand the term.

They probably have sadly misplaced ‘faith’ in the ones whom they’ve allowed to brainwash them and take their money.

Unfortunately, they are swayed by usage of the same tools used in the teaching of mainstream faiths.

I can readily understand your viewpoint.

It would cause great grief if I knew someone who opted to follow that belief system.
