Explain the present status of Scientology.

What will be an ideal response?


Scientology has always been controversial. When L. Ronald Hubbard first introduced Dianetics as a "mental therapy," physicians and psychiatrists charged that it involved practicing medicine without a license. Opposition to Scientology continues today. An increasing number of former Scientologists, a few of them high placed in the church, have gone public to oppose it. In recent years, hundreds of protests and demonstrations have been held at Scientology locations in North America and Europe by anti-Scientology groups.
