The methodology utilised by atheists is virtually indistinguishable from the theories conveyed by the Scientologists (at times). If atheism was ever considered an established religion ...it would be Scientology. Scientology is in fact the "atheist religion".
I find it odd that atheists are the most adamant..when.. concerning the authenticity of Scientologism... in Actuality atheism and Scientology are kindred spirits.

Let's be clear here, Atheism is *NOT* a religion. It is the absence of religion; without a god, without theology. Atheism is no more a religion than bald is a hair color.
Considering Christianity and Scientology both use the same hook of appealing to peoples vanity, offering answers and salvation, and generally peddling lies to ensnare the gullible, weak and pathetic, I'd seriously be quiet!
Machine translations are imperfect. Single-tired-person translations may be equally flawed. Fundiebabble-to-English translator now engaged.
>>> Scientology is in fact the "atheist religion". <<<
As an atheist I think Scientologists are idiots who fell for a scam of the first order. Personally, I feel the same could be said of anyone who follows any religion, but Scientology takes the cake for sheer stupidity.
<<< It's founder was a mediocre science fiction writer. Need we say more? >>>
oh dear... somebody is confused with a person who believes in no religion and some person believe the ULTIMATE BRAINWASHING religion.
btw the reason The Church of Scientology is atually a church is because if ur a Church of sorts the church dont get taxed...=.=
Whether based on a fantasy world of dragons, unicorns and giants, or on a science fiction world of galactic confederacies, space planes and interstellar conflicts, make-believe is make-believe.
I accept that I cannot prove that there isn't a Xenu anymore than I can prove that there isn't a God. And somehow, I find this fact less than convincing of the existence of either being.
By limiting myself to believing what can either be observed or logically inferred from observation, I understand that a large realm of belief is forever walled off from me. And somehow, I do not feel the poorer for it.
If I wished to allow myself an uncomfirmable idea, I will endeavour to always acknowledge it as such. That I believe something does not make it true, or even likely, only evidence can do that. Faith is belief without evidence, and not evidence itself. That one, one hundred, one thousand or one million people share a faith does not make that belief one whit more true or more likely.
Actually I highly suspect they're Christians who converted to Scientology.
Statistically all cults out of America are Christians forming new religions.
Atheists are'nt looking for supernatural answers
As far as I know, "the theories conveyed by the Scientologists" are fairy-tales about the alien Xenu comming to Earth to make some people rich off other people's gullibility. Something like that...
A lack of belief in gods can never be considered an established religion.
Scientology is in fact the "science-fiction religion". There is no "authenticity of Scientologism", as it was created fairly recently by a science-fiction writer. Atheists might be sort of kindred spirits with that writer, as we are both amused by the gullibility of fundies.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
