What is a scientoligist?

Answer 1

I assume you mean "scientist" and if that is the case then it is someone who studies any field of science as a profession or hobby (on a professional level). Biologists, Chemists, Doctors, Genetisists, and Physicists are all examples of scientists.

Answer 2

Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices created by American Science Fiction author L. Ron Hubbard.[1] Hubbard developed Scientology teachings in 1952 as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.[2] Hubbard later characterized Scientology as an "applied religious philosophy" and the basis for a new religion with the first Scientology church being established in New Jersey, December 1953.[3][4] Scientologists believe that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature and are reborn until they attain infinite survival;[5] by learning to understand the world they believe they can achieve salvation.[6] Scientology's means for spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counseling called "auditing".[3] Study materials and auditing courses are made available to members in return for donations of specified amounts.[7] A large number of organizations overseeing the application of Scientology have been established.[8] Most notable of these organizations is the Church of Scientology, whose primary concern is to uphold the belief system of Scientology. Scientology sponsors a variety of social betterment programs to service the larger secular society.[9][8] Some of these have been described as Scientology promotional campaigns.[10] They include The Way to Happiness, a set of moral guidelines, Narconon, an anti-drug program, Criminon, a rehabilitation program used in prisons, Study Tech, an education methodology, a volunteer organization and a business management method.[11] One controversial aspect of Scientology is its belief that souls ("thetans") reincarnate and have lived on other planets before living on Earth.[12] Former members say that details of this supposed extraterrestrial past are not revealed until thousands of dollars have been paid to the Church of Scientology.[13][14] Another controversial belief held among Scientologists is that the practice of psychiatry is destructive, abusive and must be abolished.[15][16] Although Scientology is recognized as a bona fide religion in the United States and other countries,[17][18] it has been widely criticized as a cult that financially defrauds and abuses its members.[19][20][21] The Church of Scientology has also been accused of harassing its critics,[22][23][24][25][26][27] and has consistently used litigation against them.[28][29][30]
