I am a college student, I am currently taking a religions around the world course and my final is due soon. I am to write about a religion that I have always found interesting but do not know everything about. I chose Scientology and I am supposed to now ask someone questions about the religion...kind of an interview. If someone would be so kind to answer a few questions for me I would be so happy.
- Summarize the beliefs of the religion in one phrase.
- What is the most common misconception about the religion?
- What aspects of the religion are practiced in everyday life?
- What brought you to this specific religion?
- How are the sermons conducted?
- Who was the founder of scientology?
- How does this religion differ from others?
- How is the religion the same as others?
- Does the religion teach of a higher power? If so what or who?
- What are the important holidays and traditions of this religion?
- How has religion shaped your life?
- What are the challenges, if any, to practicing this particular religion?
