Scientology status by country
Scientology status by country describes the status of Scientology and its recognition as a religion or otherwise in different countries. The Church of Scientology pursues an extensive public relations campaign for state recognition of Scientology as a religion and cites numerous scholarly sources supporting its position.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Bonafides of the Scientology Religion )〕 The level of recognition Scientology has been able to obtain varies significantly from country to country.
The Church of Scientology has been recognized as a religious denomination in its home country, the United States, and has received full recognition in various other countries such as Italy,〔(Italian Supreme Court decision )〕〔Gallagher, Eugene V.; Ashcraft, W. Michael (2006). (Introduction to New and Alternative Religions in America ), ISBN 0-275-98712-4, p. 185〕 South Africa, Australia,〔High Court of Australia (''CHURCH OF THE NEW FAITH v. COMMISSIONER OF PAY-ROLL TAX (VICT.) 1983 154 CLR 120'' )〕 Sweden, New Zealand,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Opinion of the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department on the Charitable Status of Scientology )〕 Portugal〔 and Spain;〔 it thus enjoys and regularly cites the constitutional protection afforded in these nations to religious practice. Some countries, mostly in Europe, have regarded Scientology as a potentially dangerous cult, or at least have not considered local branches of the Church of Scientology to meet the legal criteria for being considered religion-supporting organizations.〔(Scientology and Germany ). Understanding the German View of Scientology.〕
The 2014 ruling in London, which had five judges in the UK Supreme Court unanimously rule that a Scientology chapel is a “place of meeting for religious worship,” solidified the church’s status as a religion in the region. While some theologians critically approach Scientology’s status as a religion, social scientists as a whole agree that it “satisfies the abstract criteria for recognition as a religion.”
==Status by country==
Scientology is not recognised by any of the other 157 member states of the United Nations at this point.
