In many writings of its founder L. Ron Hubbard, freedom of religion is expressly required and reaffirmed again and again. The confession of faith of Scientology, that 1954 was written down in the years of the Foundation, says: all men have inalienable rights to devise its own organizations, churches and Governments, to choose, to promote or support “.” All Scientology also have clergy, become familiar with in the context of their religious training, with the knowledge of the great religions.

The use of Scientology Church for religious freedom happens in the consciousness, that freedom of religion must include also the willingness, which others can exercise the religion of their choice, or they, if they wish, to come over to a different religion to be. This can be achieved in a society that strictly separates between Church and State and admits a dominant role to any single religion. These claims are based from observations of other religions, whose Mitglieder were persecuted and oppressed, and own experience of Scientology. Today, Scientology in most countries of the world is a recognized religious community. Their religious character was in many Confirmed court judgments. In any democratic nation Europe, freedom of religion by Constitution is set.

Is especially strict in any multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual country “Application of the principles of equality and non-discrimination an indispensable prerequisite for maintaining the political and spiritual unity of the State, as well as for understanding and harmonious relations between the various groups of the society.” Press service of the Scientology Church Bayern e.V. contact: Ms. UTA Ebrusheee the Edward Street 12 80802 Munich TEL: 089-890912639 FAX 089-38607-109 eMail:
