.....organised by the Church of Scientology involve "acts of worship".

Scientologist Louisa Hodkin lost a High Court fight for the right to marry fiance Alessandro Calcioli in a Church of Scientology chapel in central London.

A High Court judge concluded that the couple could not marry in the London Church Chapel, in Queen Victoria Street, because it was not legally a "place of meeting for religious worship".

But Mr Justice Ouseley said Supreme Court justices - the most senior judges in the UK - should consider the question of whether Scientologists worshipped and decide whether they wanted to rule on the issue....

Does worship of self and worship of money count?

Oh please....I hear the violins tuning up in the last paragraph of that article...
I wonder who is stage managing this "case"...?

True, but, in contrast to the other churches that worship money and ego, the cult doesn't even nominally claim to worship a higher power like God.

yes...

just so, and yet there is irony...

the sane and proper truths in the materials are such that they bolster and expand a person's more godly virtues. which repeatedly pops it's best adherents and practitioners out

it's zen

they worship god by not worshipping god

I believe that Louisa is the daughter of cult shyster Peter Hodkin. Obviously she isn’t taking this action for herself, it is at the behest of the cult who want to get recognised as a religion in the UK. They were turned down by the Charities Commission, but this is their feeble attempt at getting in through the back door.

Actually, I wouldn’t be opposed to them getting charitable status in the UK as this would bring them under the regulation of the Charities Commission. See: http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Our_regulatory_activity/default.aspx

They would be subject to public scrutiny and be held accountable for their actions. Suddenly all disgruntled exes would have someone to complain to. Not getting your refund? Go and see the Charities Commission.

The CC even has the power to remove trustees and appoint their own managers if they feel that the ‘charity’ is not behaving properly.

Imagine the shock of the cult if an ‘Indie’ or even an ‘ex’ were to be put in charge!
