This is an intelligent question. Religion comes from Latin, meaning to fear the gods. Major religions that came off that line are Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, and more. The 1949 Chambers dictionary is relevant here."Revealed religion, that which is derived from positive revelation by divinely inspired Scripture, or otherwise." Natural religion, that religion which is derived from nature and not revelation." This latter definition would include Buddhism Hinduism Shintoism, and more. It also includes Scientology. These definitions of religion are important. In Scientology you learn about life. You are life. Life follows certain laws. The founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, researched these laws. These laws are natural. Mr. Hubbard made no claims to receiving divine inspiration. He teaches about life. In my church in Canberra - right this minute - I have a Mormon studying in our academy, and I also have a devout member of a a local new Christian church studying other days. I have taught Scientology to some important people in Asia. They were Hindu, Muslim Christian and Buddhist. They could see no conflict with Scientology and their own major faith. I cannot either. I have a website. It has a religious expertise in it by a Shinto scholar, whose son studied under the Pope at the Vatican. His expertise deals in Scientology and why it is a religion.

What differences do Scientology and Christianity have?
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.
Where has scientology spread?
Scientology is international. The Scientology religion has over 11,000 churches, missions and groups all over the world.
Do the followers of scientology have a special building that they go to worship?
Like most religions, Scientology has churches. There are more than 11'000 churches, missions and groups around the world. Scientology is not a faith based religion, but an applied religious philosophy. It offers tools that can be applied in life. No one is asked to believe, but to try the tools and see if they work for him, based on his own personal observations. Scientology churches are not a place where people go to worship. They are places where Scientologists can go to study and apply these tools to improve their potential in life.
How many Churches of Scientology are there in Egypt?
There are, as of 19 September 2015, no Scientology churches in Egypt. The closest ones would be in Israel. Egypt has a very limited freedom of religion, which really only applies to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Some religions like Baha'i and Atheism (which would be a religious designation) are barely protected by the state. It is doubtful if Scientology would be permitted in Egypt in the near future.

Who is the boss of scientology?
Religious Technology Center (RTC) is a nonprofit religious organization formed in 1982 to preserve, maintain and protect the Scientology religion and is a Church of the Scientology religion. Religious Technology Center holds the ultimate ecclesiastical authority regarding the standard and pure application of L. Ron Hubbard's religious technologies. RTC is not part of the management structure of the Church and is not involved in its day-to-day affairs. RTC holds the Dianetics and Scientology trademarks and service marks, which Founder L. Ron Hubbard donated to RTC in 1982. Earlier, Mr. Hubbard himself oversaw the practice of the religion and registered as trade and service marks many of the religion's identifying words and symbols, such as "Dianetics" and "Scientology." These registered marks provided a legal mechanism for ensuring that Scientology religious technologies are ministered in exact accordance with the scripture and not altered by misappropriation or improper use. They also provide a legal mechanism to prevent anyone from offering some altered or inauthentic version of Dianetics and Scientology and representing it as the real technology. RTC grants the Church of Scientology International (CSI), the mother church of the Scientology religion, the right to use the trademarks and to license their use to all other Scientology Churches. While CSI serves as the mother church and is responsible for the overall ecclesiastical management, dissemination, propagation and defense of the Scientology religion and the various Scientology Churches, Religious Technology Center serves as the ultimate protector of the religion. While each Scientology organization and, indeed, every Scientologist is expected to enforce the standard application of Scientology scripture, RTC is the final arbiter of orthodoxy. Mr. David Miscavige is the Chairman of the Board, RTC.
