Yes, Scientologists fought long in court to have their faith recognized as a religion. Scientologists have also realized considerable success in court combatting libels against their faith.

Scientology generally holds that the practice of psyhchiatry requires faith, and as such is a state religion. To test the proposed list of statements as they might be tested in a libel trial, we can simply reverse them, replacing the faith-system of Scientology with the faith-system of psychiatry. Would the campus psychiatrist who operates this site deem them "civil" according to his unique system of civility if they were presented as below?


> 1. I don't agree with psychiatry.
> 2. The beliefs of psychiatry are in conflict with mine.
> 3. The beliefs of psychiatry are in conflict with those of modern science, and the following in an example: (yada yada yada)
> 4. I believe that for many people, indoctrination into psychiatry includes methods of brainwashing, and the following are anecdotes as reported by following people whom have experienced this: (yada yada yada)
> 5. I agree that the faithful practice of psychiatry can be dangerous, and the following are examples of this: (yada yada yada)
> 6. I believe the media reports describing the deaths of children forced to undergo medical procedures by parents whose faith in psychiatry requires such practices.
