Known For :

L. Ron Hubbard was an American science fiction author but is best known for creating the "Church of Scientology" which has between 10 million and 30 million followers depending on who publishes the figures. While researching this piece although it is called "Church of Scientology" there are major disputes into what it is with some calling it a cult, commercial organisation, some countries do recognise it as a church many others do not officially recognize it as a charitable organization or Church. I tried to find a single sentence to define "Scientology" the best I could come up with is "it teaches that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature". Although there are any number of videos from critics below is one of them, I found difficulty finding a video I could to show what the "Church" does stand for, but whatever your thoughts it should be remembered they do appear to have some high profile believers. Sorry for the very controversial nature of Todays "Born This Day" but I found it interesting even if somewhat strange considering how many do follow this.
