International Religious Freedom (IRF) Roundtable
The Church of Scientology is a founding member of the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Roundtable. Religious freedom for people of all faiths or no faith is a very high priority for Scientology. Part of the Creed of the Church of Scientology is “That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance.”
In an article from the mid 1970s, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote:
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is its religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
Religion is the first sense of community. Your sense of community occurs by reason of mutual experience with others. Where the religious sense of community and with it real trust and integrity can be destroyed, then that society is like a sandcastle unable to defend itself against the inexorable sea.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with a relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses,” that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive; in short, that it is a delusion.
But beneath all these attacks on organized religion there was a more fundamental target: the spirituality of Man, your own basic spiritual nature, self-respect and peace of mind. This black propaganda may have been so successful that maybe you no longer believe you have a spiritual nature but I assure you you do.
One purpose of the new Scientologyreligion.org website is to promote freedom of religion and belief as an essential human right.
Every religion is a minority religion somewhere on Earth.
In a world where conflicts are often traceable to intolerance of others’ religious beliefs and practices, the Church of Scientology has, for more than fifty years, made the preservation of religious liberty an overriding concern.
