Scientology

Basically.... You disagree with religion, just like I said, it's your opinion if you find it rubbish and gibberish, I bet if I were to say anything against Atheism, you would be replying similarly to how I am.

This isn't any more false than any other religion, and shouldn't be treated any differently. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, etc. all think that Scientology is blatantly wrong, because it is a ridiculous religion. However, I would say the same about their religions.

I think the fact that Scientology was founded by a glamorized Science Fiction writer in 20th Century America is all you need to realize that the "religion" of Scientology is completely discreditable. However, I was born and raised Catholic, but am now leaning towards Atheism, so I generally agree with what you're saying.

Precisely, you were born and raised Catholic.

If you were born in ancient Greece, you would raised to worship the Greek Gods.

If you were born in India, you would be raised to be Hindu.

If you were born in Iran, you would be raised to be Muslim.

If you were born in ancient Egypt, you would be raised to be worshiping the pharaohs.

If you were in the land of the Mayans, you would be raised to be worshiping the Mayan Gods.

If you were born in the land of the Aztecs, you would be raised to be worshiping the Aztec Gods.

If you were born in a Native American tribe, you surely wouldn't be worshiping Jesus.

If you were born as an hominid ancestor of humans, you wouldn't believe in any deity.

If the pattern is not blatant enough, please do tell.

Yes, I agree with what you're saying here, but you must have misinterpreted what I was saying. By stating that I was born and raised a Catholic, I was using this to emphasize the point that I do not agree that Christianity, Islamism, Hinduism, Mormonism etc. are all blatantly wrong. I do lean towards the belief that what is expressed in the Bible is clearly fictitious and untrue, but by saying that they are not "wrong," I meant to convey the point that they are not morally wrong to follow.

Lean is a vague word and implies barely, not much, slowly. Be more precise with your word choice. It exhibits that you're still a theist.
