Not really an answer is it, if you can't think of a intelligent response, don't bother.
Do you go to a church to follow Arsenal?
Does Arsenal offer you a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and one’s relationship to self, family, groups, Mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being?
Do Arsenal addresses the spirit—not the body or mind—and believes that Man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes?
Do Arsenal comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths.
Do Arsenal believe Man is an immortal spiritual being and that His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime, and that His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.
Do Arsenal further hold Man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe?
Is Arsenal not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to accept anything on faith alone. On the contrary, one discovers for oneself that the principles of Scientology are true by applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results?
Is the ultimate goal of Arsenal true spiritual enlightenment and freedom for all?
Or, is it as I suspect, that Arsenal are a football team?
Also, how about answering by initial question, why isn't it a religion?
