I say the Church of Scientology should be exempt ONLY if their knowledge is COMPLETELY free. None of this pay to learn each level nonsense. If naive gullible people want to follow a religion, they shouldn't have to pay more than $5 total PERIOD in their lifetime to learn and practice that religion. This "religion" DEMANDS it's followers keep the knowledge they've paid for a SECRET from new followers. Because who's gonna believe some lame hokey story about an evil Galaxian ruler (who is STILL imprisoned to this DAY dammit!) causing all the problems in their life? Free Xenu and leave MY goddamm Body Thetans ALONE!
The church of scientology does not offer any viable alternatives to mental health, but is bent on destroying psychiastry and psychology.They also are not a organisation of public benefit or social wellbeing.Their membership is limited to your course fees.They are more of a business.So why should they not pay tax.Their members have to pay their 'donations' to do those scientology courses.
