Just not in the Netherlands where neither freedom of speech nor freedom of religion is a recognized right.
What BS, in fact freedom of speech and religion is guaranteed by our constitution, but there is no guarantee in the constitution for businesses like Scientology to misuse the tax exempt status of non-commercial religious organizations who do things for the common good.
Every religious person in the Netherlands can believe what they want and say what they want, even scientology, they just cannot do it from a tax exempt status because their business model does not comply with the rules for tax exempt groups/churches.
