ang on, wasn't Christianity also established? That must make it a cult. So scientology and christianity then both have two things in common. I wonder if scientology then would also be a religion.

I am under the impression that most religions were established eventually. And we could always assume that every religion is a cult based on definition.
However, with the knowledge that we have now about Scientology, I don't even play the "believe in what you want so long as it doesn't hurt other people" card;
There is no faith involved with Scientology -- it's about money and power. (Though arguably, so is every major religion
) And that's what makes Scientology a cult as opposed to a religion.
