L. Ron Hubbard’s view on world religions and his role as the self-proclaimed Antichrist…allegedly.

Scientology’s teachings, especially the secret ones from founder L. Ron Hubbard, don’t just disagree with traditional religions—they openly attack and mock them.

Take Christianity: Hubbard outright denied Jesus even existed. In a 1968 lecture, he claimed Christianity was just a big mental trick, saying, “Somebody on this planet, about 600 B.C., found some pieces of ‘R6’… And it became what is known as Christianity. The man on the cross – there was no Christ!” Hubbard insisted the entire Christian story was a fake memory implanted by an evil alien ruler 75 million years ago. Basically, he called Christianity brainwashing, positioning Scientology as the only true path.

Privately, Hubbard was even harsher about Jesus. In secret teachings, he labeled the “Historical Jesus” as “a lover of young boys and men,” painting Christ as homosexual and pedophilic. He dismissed the revered image of Jesus as a false memory implant. Instead, Hubbard portrayed himself—not Jesus—as the real savior of humanity, calling himself an Antichrist figure here to liberate humanity from these implanted delusions. This twisted inversion shows just how radically Scientology opposes Christian beliefs, even though publicly it claims to respect them.

Islam didn’t fare much better. Hubbard rarely mentioned Islam, but when he did, he mocked it openly. In 1952, he joked that Prophet Muhammad created Islam simply because “trade wasn’t good in his home town.” He even suggested the Ka’ba (Islam’s holiest site) was just a fake relic made up to attract tourists. Such disrespectful views reveal Hubbard’s dismissive attitude toward Islam, treating it as another scam religion based on implants.

Judaism is also implicitly grouped by Hubbard with all religions he considered false implants. Hubbard often talked about “international bankers” secretly controlling the world—a common anti-Semitic motif. Critics point out this language echoes anti-Jewish conspiracies. Although Hubbard didn’t frequently target Judaism explicitly, his teachings still lump it in with other “brainwashed” religions.

Hubbard also bizarrely claimed to uncover the truth about heaven and hell. In his 1963 bulletin “Routine 3 – Heaven,” he announced he’d visited Heaven and found it wasn’t divine, but rather a cruel hoax, “complete with gates, angels and plaster saints—and electronic implantation equipment.” He described Heaven as a fake paradise built by evil aliens to trap souls. According to Hubbard, Earth religions have it completely backward: heaven is actually a deceptive spiritual prison, and hell is just reincarnation without Scientology’s salvation.

Perhaps most disturbingly, Hubbard even claimed he himself was fulfilling the biblical role of the Antichrist. In leaked documents from the secret OT VIII course, he wrote he was here to expose Christianity as a false implant religion and saw himself as a Lucifer-like figure, the real liberator against Christianity’s “false god.” This makes Scientology not only anti-Christian, but eerily apocalyptic in how it positions itself against traditional faith.

Even Hubbard’s teachings on demons show contradictions. He mocked traditional belief in demons but later instructed followers to perform exorcisms (without using that word) to remove “body thetans”—essentially sci-fi demons—from themselves. Hubbard essentially took religious demonology and gave it a modern twist, leaving followers unknowingly performing rituals akin to casting out demons.

In short, Scientology under Hubbard doesn’t just reject traditional faiths—it ridicules and demonizes them. Its hidden teachings insult prophets, portray respected religious figures as perverse frauds, and recast Hubbard himself as humanity’s real savior, turning all other religions into cosmic hoaxes. While publicly the Church claims respect for other beliefs, Hubbard’s own words show a radically different story behind closed doors.
