Why do some people oppose Scientology?

There are certain characteristics and mental attitudes that cause a percentage of the population to oppose any betterment activity or group. This small percentage of society (2.5%) cannot tolerate that Scientology is successful at improving conditions around the world. Every positive development in society has been opposed at some time.

Like all new ideas, Scientology has come under attack by the uninformed and those who feel their vested interests are threatened. For those vested interests, Scientology’s technology of making the able more able and teaching people to think for themselves poses a serious threat.

Why is Scientology opposed to psychiatry?

Scientologists disagree with the enforced and harmful psychiatric practices of brain operations, electric shock treatment, forced and heavy drugging and other damaging abuse.

Scientologists do not believe that psychiatrists should tell their patients what they think is wrong with them. Scientologists believe that persons should find out for themselves the source of their troubles, since this gives the person the ability to improve conditions in their own life and environment. Such responsibility is empowering.

Scientology is a religion and recognizes that man is a spiritual being. Psychiatrists view man as an animal.
