Help me here. I know a cult when I see it....but....
1. Does Scientology allow for a beliefe in a supreme being or diety, God?
2. Does Scientology forbid faith in God?
3. What does Scientology teach about religion or “other religions”
4. By what definition do they claim themselves as religious?

By what definition do they claim themselves as religious?Tax exemption. The only "pure" motive of that brainwashing cult.

One story that I heard about them finally getting the IRS label, is that John Travolta told Bill Clinton that he'd go easy on the BC character in some movie if he'd convince the IRS to give them the religion tax id...
Around the same time, give or take, Germany bestowed the "Cult" classification on the organization.

By what definition do they claim themselves as religious? Scientology attempts to deal with man's fundamental spiritual nature. As such it is no less a religion than Buddhism.
The more interesting question is why does the US government decide what is and what isn't a religion?
