Scientology in Hungary

Several signs show Scientology deeply penetrated both Hungarian political system and the economy.

Week trial to press back the number of churches in Hungary was a new law being in force just for few moths demolished by the Constitutional Court. Officially only those churches were legal and are supported from the budget if the number of the officially registered members is at least as much as the legal. The other conjunctive condition was how long the church was registered. In fact not too many churches met the conditions.

Scientology church was not among the officially enabled churches because of the fact the members are usually unknown.

In accordance with unofficial sources the members of Scientology are functioning in either state administration, judicial system or among politicians. Several lists of church members are broadcasted.

Some skeptic sociologist rate Hungary as the new European home of the Scientology because of the liberal law environment. In accordance with others assessments the Scientology and the HIT church has already common roots.

There is nothing confessional, both churches are pulling and money squading assemblages based on interests.
