Scientology is a set of beliefs and practices that were created by L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986). It began in 1952 as a development of his self-help system, Dianetics. Hubbard said that Scientology was a religion, and in 1953 it was incorporated as the Church of Scientology in Camden, New Jersey, USA.

Hubbard was a pulp fiction writer, mainly of science fiction. Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health was published in 1950.
