How did scientology get to be a religion?

Well, most people do believe in god, or a powerful being. But there are some people that do think we evolved from other animals such as Apes. For example, scientists..... they believed there had to be a logical explanation for how we were made. So they started to hypothesize and came up with a conclusion, that science explained it all. But not just scientists believed that science explained it, others did to. So they made it a religion for other people to believe. Hope this helps!
