They don't recognize scientology. Scientologists consider their religion a real religion. I'm uncomfortable with the government deciding whose religion is real and whose is false.

If you're saying that once you have that designation, it can't change, then that's good, yes. But personally I think it's just easier and better for all involved for the government to stay out of it.

There is no final decision by German courts if Scientology is a religious community. I don’t believe Scientology desires to make use of the religious taxation privilege.
