Best Answer

There is no reason to compare Scientology with Christianity.

The only thing they have in common is their religious nature and the presence of churches.

All the rest is different.

Christianity is a faith based religion were members are asked to pray and worship God

.

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy and it is not based on faith and beliefs.

Scientology has more in common with Mahayana Buddhism.

Members of the Scientology religion don't go to church to pray, but to study tools that they can apply in life to improve their skills and abilities, as well as the ability of helping others.

There is no reason why a Christian could not study Scientology and use it in his life.

Scientology is all-denominational and no one is required to change his personal beliefs in regards to God or Gods while studying in their churches.

There can be a Christian who in the morning goes to the Sunday service in his Christian church, and in the evening goes into a Scientology church to to a course on "how to handle negative people" or "how to improve communication".

They are two completely separate subjects.

Is paganism and Scientology the same thing?

Well not really, It depends on what religion you have. Christianity says all other religions are Paganists but, the same goes for the Islam. Commonly, Christianity, Judaism, and the Islam are called: non-pagans. and since Scientology is a christian cult, it can't be considered Paganistic. (but that's my view on this)

How many Churches of Scientology are there in Egypt?

There are, as of 19 September 2015, no Scientology churches in Egypt. The closest ones would be in Israel. Egypt has a very limited freedom of religion, which really only applies to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Some religions like Baha'i and Atheism (which would be a religious designation) are barely protected by the state. It is doubtful if Scientology would be permitted in Egypt in the near future.
