Balancing some statements

[edit]

The article contains some statements that do not appear to provide a balanced viewpoint "The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that Scientology is "an officially recognised religion in the Royal Navy".[13]" This is taken from a footnote enumerating some of the evidence provided to the Charity Commissioners by the CoS. I feel that this should be balanced by noting that the 2012 Royal Navy Personnel Management Manual (in Chapter 31 - Religion and Faiths) makes no reference to Scientology.

"The Crown Prosecution Service announced in March 2009 that Scientology should be treated as a religion for the purposes of the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006." It should be noted that the CPS also stated that this is simply a legal opinion that needs to be tested in the courts see this article "‘It is ultimately for the courts to decide how to interpret legislation.’ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.130.17 (talk) 10:33, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
