In some cases yes. However in the case of most of the current world
religions I expect that they were honest examples of trying to explain
the unexplainable. L. Ron Hubbard, noticed that most of the adherents
of Psychology among other modern replacements for religion, treated them
as true beliefs, not as science, and took advantage of that, hiding a
core of "garble farb" in the trappings of science. The advantage of
this is that you can change your core to match any particular persons
preconceptions. The obvious purpose is to hide the truth rather than
explain it.

It really depends on intent I guess. There is an intent to deceive in
the use of the E-meter, somewhere along the way, because anyone with the
least understanding of biology and electronics can tell you exactly how
it works and what it is doing, and it sure as hell isn't what the
auditor says it is. The Pope may believe in a very improbable story as
the basis for his belief, but it's a belief, not a con, at least as far
as I can tell.
Is that not just a function of time?

I'm not weird, you think I made that up?

I find that easier to stomach than that a box full of loose wires badly
connected together can give me inner peace, or haven't you heard about
auditing...
Peter, you're weird.

I know he's a Scientologist, but I don't feel that his
enthusiasm for Scientology makes him weird. Certainly no
more weird than other people with strong religious or
political beliefs. With that as a basis, then you might have
to consider the pope as being weird.
he believes a man was born of a virgin, and subsequently came back from the
dead.
I'd say that was weird.
