How many Scientologists live in your town? Surprisingly, Scientology has an answer

 
Scientology is secretive about so many things. And of course, when it does come forward with information, it has a decades-long record of prevarication. You can take none of their pronouncements at face value. Especially when they’re claiming that they have “millions” of members around the world.
