Don't worry about asking questions, but you should google that for sure

I am not totally sure on all the in's and out's of what a group has to do to be recognized as a religion.

I remember when Scientology was advertised on TV here. It was done mainly by advertising the book "Dianetics". These were on in the late 80s early 90s.

Wow! I haven't seen one in years! I was hoping they had totally died out. No such luck!

I don't see the same ones anymore, but I do see newer ones. Those old ones looked pretty dated, but remember I live in Scino land...Maybe they only show them here.

That's quite possible. Where I was living before and where I am now I have not met one. But I am not complaining.
