It seems Germany was quite serious about its dislike for Scientology.

While I feel that people can believe what they want to believe, and I try to keep a 'live and let live' mentality towards religions (as absurd as some of them are) I have to agree with Germany on this.
To me, Scientology doesn't come off as a religion, it comes off as an elite club for people with a lot of money. It's just another organization in which people can belong to, just to claim some sort of exclusivity.
