Scientology is an ‘applied religious philosophy' that was created by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard in 1952. Cruise was first introduced to the ‘religion' by his ex-wife Mimi Rogers. Tom says that the Church Of Scientology freed him from dyslexia and can cure drug addiction and mental health problems without psychiatry or medication. Katie Holmes converted to Scientology, and David Miscavige, head of the Church Of Scientology, was Tom's best man at their wedding. There was much speculation over whether Katie would have a ‘silent birth' - a practice advocated by L Ron Hubbard in which ‘everyone attending the birth should refrain from spoken words as much as possible'. Never mind Katie, we're not sure if Tom is capable of refraining from spoken words
