[名]

Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices created by speculative fiction author L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), starting in 1952, as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.^[4] Hubbard characterized Scientology as a religion, and in 1953 incorporated the Church of Scientology in Camden, New Jersey.^[5][6]
Scientology teaches that people are immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature.^[7] Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counselling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects.^[8] Study materials and auditing courses are made available to members in return for specified donations.^[9] Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States and some other countries,^{[10][11][12][13]} and the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a bona fide religion.^[14] In other countries, notably France, Germany and the United Kingdom, Scientology does not have comparable religious status.
