New Way of practicing Old Beliefs

[Angrboda]

If one doesn't like those, then what about Scientology.  It seems the ostensible goal of Scientology is to fine-tune the mind / spirit for optimum flourishing.  

Here I guess it depends on what you think of Scientology. Someone who thinks it's real will hold that he's improving his spirit. More skeptical people might well think he's a dupe who's giving away his money to unscrupulous people. 

I lean more toward the second option, but I've never really looked into Scientology.

Is that fundamentally different from any other religion?
