The Creed of the Church of Scientology was written byL. Ron Hubbard shortly after the Church was formed in Los Angeles on February 18, 1954. After he issued this creed from his office in Phoenix, Arizona, the Church of Scientology adopted it as official because it succinctly states what Scientologists believe.

e of the Church believe:


That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights;


That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance;


That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;


That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;


That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;


That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments;


That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others;


That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;


That the souls of men have the rights of men;
