I don't think you have it wrong at all. Scientology is completely
faith-based. I couldn't disagree with Tory more. "Real" faith? Faith
is what it is, which is a belief in something without evidence and
Scientology certainly fits that. Imposing arbitrary definitions on
what "real" faith should be doesn't change things.
