Anyone who has used any of the knowledge in Scientology and believes they have improved an unwanted condition in their lives or in the lives of others is in Scientology.
Anyone who obtains and keeps in force a membership card from the International Association of Scientologists (IAS) is considered by the Church to be a Member.
Anyone that attests they intend to use, or do use any knowledge in Scientology destructively may NOT be in Scientology.
Scientology.
Most likely, if a person has a lot of stress in his/her life, Scientology claims to have a cure for it.
Zeus is a mythological figure from the Greek Religion. Scientology does not contain any teaching about Zeus. A person who practice Scientology is free to chose his own personal beliefs, and Scientology does not interfere with one's personal faith. A person can believe in Zeus and still practice Scientology.
No, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy, something we use. A person can study the Scientology tools and apply them in his life to see if they work for him. There is no believe or faith involved.
Maybe because they think those people are suppresive persons, eg, that they suppress scientology because they are against is its main tenets.Suppressive Person, often abbreviated SP, is a term used in Scientology to describe the "antisocial personalities" who, according to Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard, make up about 2.5% of the population. A statement on a Church of Scientology website describes this group as including notorious historic figures such as Adolf Hitler.The term is often applied to those whom the Church of Scientology perceives as its enemies, i.e. those whose "disastrous" and "suppressive" acts are said to impede the progress of individual Scientologists or the Scientology movement.One of the reasons Scientology doctrines portray Suppressive Persons as such a danger is that they are supposed to make people around them become Potential Trouble Source (abbreviated PTS). According to Scientology a PTS is "a person who is in some way connected to or is adversely affected by a suppressive person. Such a person is called a potential trouble source because he can be a lot of trouble to himself and to others." PTSes are said to make up 17.5% of the population.Basically, anyone who critizices Scientology can be labelled as a Suppressive Person and they are a danger for Scientology members because they can instigate Potential Trouble Sourcesinside their religion. A pretty much suppresive way of thinking, don't you think?

Scientology is Fake.
Yes. The "Church of Scientology" is the main scientology practicing organisation, and by far the largest and most powerful. It has a complex organisational structure, and is the organisation originally led by L Ron Hubbard, the creator of scientology. The splinter groups are known collectively as "the Free Zone". They are generally disaffected scientologists, often unhappy with the actions of the organisation - CoS - in particular with the costs of scientology training. Both the Freezone and CoS accuse each other of "squirrelling" the scientology equivalent of heresey - which means simply changing the doctrine dictated by Hubbard.
