It is a cult.

Scientology believes in spiritual rehabilitation. It is basically comprised of beliefs that we are all immortal beings who have "forgotten their true nature."

Scientology was created in 1952 by the American Sci-Fi author, L. Ron Hubbard, who claimed that it is a religion.

It is both. So far as I can grasp (not being a scientologist myself), it allows each member a choice of how to relate to the "divine". A religion, conversely, is premised upon the "faith" or "baptism" of the communicant (a decidedly more "exclusive" model on the one hand, but precisely more defined on the other).
