Religion, Inc.

Book •
Stuart Lamont's 'Religion, Inc.' is an investigative look at the Church of Scientology that aimed to expose organizational practices and controversies.

The book drew on interviews with a handful of individuals to construct a critical history of Scientology's operations.

While influential as an early exposé, Atack critiques it for relying heavily on limited sources and including much material drawn from L. Ron Hubbard himself.

The book contributed to early public awareness and debate about Scientology's practices and influence.

It remains part of the body of literature scrutinizing new religious movements and organizational behaviors.
