“I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself from the shadows which darken his days.”
-L. Ron Hubbard
L. Ron Hubbard created the religion of Scientology in 1954. He is a former science fiction author, who followed his dreams of helping people by starting a religion that would help people. He first wrote a book called Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. This is a handbook on the human mind, and this and his subsequent works address every part of human life, specifically addressing the problems that we face. He implemented volunteer ministries into the religion, trying to help society's ills such as drug abuse, stress, illiteracy, and so on.
