Scientology: Religion or racket?

The name Scientology (a copyrighted and registered trademark) brings to mind a wide array of claims, observations, impressions, findings, and documents, reflecting a complex and controversial history. The religion/not religion debate over various groups and organizations, prominent in the Western media over the past thirty years, has usually presented the public and politicians with a religion versus "sect" or "cult" dichotomy. The classification issue in this article is framed differently.Hopkins (1969) offered us the terms of the debate in the bluntest and most direct way when he asked in the title of an article in Christianity Today more than thirty years ago "Scientology: Religion or racket?" Read today, the Hopkins article sounds naive and charitable, but this question still stands before us, and yet deserves an answe

Religious beliefs and practise: spanish facts

Este trabajo muestra una serie de regularidades entre la religiosidad de los sujetos y algunas de sus características personales. Usando la base de datos ISSP-98 de la UNESCO y, a través de un análisis de componentes principales, obtenemos un índice de actividad (religiosa) y otro de creencias para cada sujeto. Los resultados más relevantes del trabajo son: 1) La actividad religiosa de los individuos y sus creencias están (positivamente) relacionadas. 2) La experiencia del sujeto cuando niño (la asistencia de sus padres a la iglesia y su propia asistencia) también explican la práctica actual. 3) Las mujeres, los casados (más todavía si lo están con católicos) y los que tienen más edad también muestran mayor nivel de religiosidad. 4) Los que tienen mayor nivel educativo son menos religiosos pero estos tienen mejores salarios. 5) No hay relación entre fertilidad y actividad religiosa actual.This paper explores a number of regularities in religious behaviour, among subjects and their personal features. We use the 1998 wave of the International Social Survey Program dataset. Through principal components analysis we obtain two indexes (practise and religious beliefs) that are used as dependent variables in several estimations with socio-demographics as exogenous determinants. Our main results are: 1) practise and religious beliefs are positively correlated; 2) childhood religious experiences (attendance and parental practise) are positive determinants of current religious practise; 3) women, married and older people are more prone to be religious; 3) education is negatively correlated with religiosity; 4) there is no correlation among fertility and current religious activity

Personality, conventional Christian belief and unconventional paranormal belief : a study among teenagers

A sample of 10,851 pupils (5493 males and 5358 females) attending Year 9 classes (13- to 14-year-olds) and a sample of 9494 pupils (4787 males and 4707 females) attending Year 10 classes (14- to 15-year-olds) in non-denominational state-maintained secondary schools in England and Wales completed questions concerned with conventional Christian belief and unconventional paranormal belief, alongside the short-form Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The data demonstrated that conventional Christian belief and unconventional paranormal belief occupy different locations in relation to the Eysenckian model of personality in respect of the psychoticism scale and the lie scale. While conventional Christian belief is associated with lower psychoticism scores and higher lie scale scores (greater social conformity), unconventional paranormal belief is associated with higher psychoticism scores and lower lie scale scores (lower social conformity)
