60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: October Edition

  • Is Scientology a true religion?

Seven out of 10 Americans do not consider Scientology to be a "true religion." Eighteen percent don't know and 13 percent think that it is a true religion. Seventy-five percent of Christians said no, and surprisingly, 60 percent of Americans with no religious preference agreed with that. Even with such a low number affirming it to be a true religion, it's a tribute to America's tradition of religious tolerance that Scientology is accepted throughout the country.
