It only makes sense that the only major religion to be born in America (I’m not counting all those splinter sects of weirdo evangelical branches) would have becoming a small business entrepreneur start-up of godliness at the core of its theology.
Right, Mormons are the American equivalent of Roman Catholics for Rome, the synthesis of Christianity with its imperial context taken to its logical end
but wasn't scientology created in america too?
yeah but that one is just slavery
i mean so is mormonism lol
do you think those guys just really like sleeveless shirts
i didn't know they had those!
I wouldn’t call Scientology a major religion. No credibly survey or source has ever put Scientology membership globally higher than five figures, whereas the LDS says they have 17 million members worldwide. Which may be inflated, but even if they’re padding the numbers a bit that’s still hundreds of times larger than Scientology.
Scientology is good at being noisy and intimidating and having famous members, but it’s never translated into a real mass movement religion.
