religious leaders define organized religion, that's how it works.
nonetheless, the primary texts, of each of these religions, happens to tell different stories. notice, for example, that only christians believe that jesus was the son of god & that his death (on the cross) absolved our sins on earth.
1. the church of scientology, itself reports 8 million adherents or members.
2. this number is an international representation organized in a very specific way. [

3. i cited my source, read it.
For some reason I can't go to

Ill have to look at it when I get home. I keep getting a page load error at work.
Maybe I made a mistake, it could have been 15,000 members in the U.S. then, not world wide.
Which religious leaders are you talking about? The Prophets of the Abrahamic religion never taught to kill or harm believers (Christians, Muslims, and Jews). I'm talking about the political-like religious leaders. Like the Pope for example.
And I agree, that there's different versions of Jesus. But it's ok, because Greek Christians today are starting to expose the real story in hopes to make Western Christians aware of the grave mistake they have made for centuries (about time).
