Welcome to my major project for Religion
2812: Religion and Popular Culture. This website will give an overview of
Scientology as it pertains to popular culture, including a whirlwind tour of
the religion, an introduction to its creator L. Ron Hubbard and his family, and
some common criticisms and controversies of the church. Scientology is one of
the most sensationalized "fringe religions" due to its popularity in
celebrity circles. As a result, it has come under fire from all angles of the
media: satirical, factual, and otherwise. I will attempt to give an unbiased
view of the (sometimes extremely biased) reviews Scientology has earned over
the years.
I encourage you to start with my introduction to The Origins of Scientology, but please feel free to hop around, and let your interests guide you.
