3.3 In what way does Scientology differ from other religions and religious philosophies?
Nearly all religious philosophies share a belief in
helping man live a better life. In Scientology, this
concept is expressed as one of the aims of the Church,
which is to achieve a world without insanity, war and
crime. While Scientology religious philosophy has much in
common with other religions in this regard and in terms
of its basic religious concepts and its outreach into the
community with social reform programs, the most valuable
asset that Scientology has to offer is a wealth of
technology which brings about greater spiritual
awareness.
In Scientology there is no attempt to change a person's
beliefs or to persuade him away from any religion to
which he already belongs. Scientology helps people to
achieve their goals: (1) through reading the materials
contained in the books and publications; (2) through the
unique counseling technology called auditing; (3) through
training courses which utilize L. Ron Hubbard's
