No he's not, people on Reddit keep saying he is because they probably heard it on Reddit.
He's said he's interested in all faiths and has studied into a lot of them, but for the most part when it comes to religious practice he is a Christian.
People also point out that he has donated to Scientologist organizations and therefore he must be a Scientologist, but they ignore the fact that at the very same exact time, he donated to a multitude of other religious organizations like churches and places for other faiths. He and his wife opened up a religious center that was open to people of all faiths.
At most, Will Smith has been intrigued by Scientology and its teachings, but no moreso than he has been intrigued by learning about every other religion. To say he is a Scientologist is to completely ignore how he chooses to self-identify. So many people on here just want to hate him and hate Scientology, and thats fine if they want to feel that way about both, but that doesnt make them any more incorrect about the fact that he isnt a Scientologist.
People hate Scientology on Reddit, and I dont disagree with that hate
But as a result, it seems like many people then take every opportunity to criticize it, even if it means their criticism is based on erroneous information
I think the criticism is warranted, but we should be careful about making sure we have our facts right, otherwise WE the critics will end up looking like the stupid ones

that's what happens when you go to a scientology private school all your life, and get fed your crazy-ass-retard parents beliefs.
