What is Scientology?The religion known as Scientology is often criticized and has caused much controversy. The practice was created by the American science fiction author, L.Ron Hubbard during the 1950s. Most of the basic principles of Scientology are based in rehab-like programs; new followers are audited and then given specific cleansing regimens. Many famous celebrities are involved in the church, which has helped it grow in popularity.
What is Propaganda?Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda. This is often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented. Propaganda is often associated with material prepared by governments, but activist groups, companies, religious organizations and the media can also produce propaganda.

What is Pagan?Paganism is a term first used in the fourth century by early Christians. It was applied on populations of the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism, either because they were increasingly rural and provincial relative to the Christian population or because they were not milites Christi (soldiers of Christ). Alternate terms in Christian texts for the same group were hellene, gentile, and heathen. Pagan and paganism were pejorative terms for the same polytheistic group, implying its inferiority. Paganism has broadly connoted the "religion of the peasantry", and for much of its history was a derogatory term. Both during and after the Middle Ages, pagan was a pejorative term that was applied to any non-Abrahamic or unfamiliar religion, and the term presumed a belief in false god(s).
