This has been a presentation of the completely neutral, utterly impartial and partially un-bribed Strident Atheist Oversight Committee

You can be a Jewish Scientologist or a Christian Scientologist. Though I don't consider Scientology a religion. You can't practice it without being sued by the 'Church'. So is it a business or a religion?

The Flowchart is not without merit but of course hopelessly restricted. Where is there space for Graeco-Roman Revivalists [I thought about that once]? Rastafarians? Animists? Druze? Unitarians?

As far as it goes it is fine [except that hummus as discriminator Jewish / Muslim is inadequate] - but face it, it will not get you halfway through the Religious Org listings in a midsize town's Yellow Pages.
