What Really Is Scientology? The truth behind the mysterious religion

"Now much like any other religion, Scientology possesses a similar system of beliefs and codes. It was a book conceived by Hubbard in May of 1950, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, which held his writings and studies conducted on the mind and spirit. In 1954, the first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles by a group of Scientologists, and within a few years, the practice exploded across the world."
