RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Several researchers in the field of psychology descended from the ultra-recirculated, purified air of academia to address the amoebic, unwashed masses (us).
TOLERANCE
“Nothing ruins a dinner party faster than religion or politics.” It’s the unspoken agreement of a polite dinner host and guests. Why? Because people can’t keep their manners in when talking about these two subjects. They’re especially volatile in the current political climate.
SCIENTOLOGY RELIGION
When I was a kid I asked a lot of questions. That wouldn’t surprise anyone who knows me now. I can be a little obsessive when I get interested in something. I want to know all about it and understand exactly how it works.
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
I don’t need to know much about the guy who threatened Scientologists in a recent post on Facebook.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
When it comes to understanding the religious beliefs of others, there is often some inherent unwillingness to meet the other halfway with a true desire to comprehend that person’s deeply-held convictions.
