There is no reason to compare Scientology with Christianity. The only thing they have in common is their religious nature and the presence of churches. All the rest is different. Christianity is a faith based religion were members are asked to pray and worship God . Scientology is an applied religious philosophy and it is not based on faith and beliefs. Scientology has more in common with Mahayana Buddhism. Members of the Scientology religion don't go to church to pray, but to study tools that they can apply in life to improve their skills and abilities, as well as the ability of helping others. There is no reason why a Christian could not study Scientology and use it in his life. Scientology is all-denominational and no one is required to change his personal beliefs in regards to God or Gods while studying in their churches. There can be a Christian who in the morning goes to the Sunday service in his Christian church, and in the evening goes into a Scientology church to to a course on "how to handle negative people" or "how to improve communication". They are two completely separate subjects.
Scientology is not a faith based religion. It is an applied religious philosophy. It offers tools that one can use in his own life. One is not asked to worship a God or Gods in Scientology. What God is, is up to each personal understanding. People from all faiths practice Scientology. You can be a Christian Scientologist or a Muslim Scientologist, it doesn't matter.
