As I said, everyone is entitled to believe what they want. Scientologly has been acknowledged as a religion and people need to get over the fact.

Good grief. Reading between the lines a bit there aren't we?
Damien has -repeatedly - made the case that legal status is the concern here, due to the way religious organisations are treated under law. In his argument it has absolutely nothing to do with which religion is superior to another. If you are in any way familiar with Damian's posts on this forum over a great many years, you ought to be quite content that he has no agenda of favouring one region over another.
His argument, and mine, is that changing the way the law decides what is a religion has consequences far beyond Scientology. Such changes, therefore, ought to be debated in Parliament and then legislated for, and should not be subject to the opinions of a few judges, no matter how esteemed they are.
