Well, the religion Scientology (which, I state clearly and for the record,
is absolutely NOT a wacko fringe cult founded by a hack SF author for the
sole purpose of bilking money out of the credulous, the desperate, or the
mentally ill, nor is it a manipulative and exploitive pyramid scheme to
generate tax-free income at the expense of benighted aspirants) is famed for
its litigiousness, and while "God" and "Christianity" might not be
copyrighted, "Scientology" and certainly "Dianetics" already are. I grant
you, Scientology (though not at all an insane throng of duped cultists)
isn't a major religion in the sense that Christianity or Islam or Buddhism is...
Dave!
