The government should stop giving tax breaks to the Church of Scientology, which is not classified as a religion in England, an official said.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said a majority of the public didn't want the "controversial organization" to receive the kind of favorable treatment usually reserved for charities, The Guardian reported.
It is the first time a Cabinet minister has intervened in long-running arguments over tax breaks for Scientology, which a high court judge classified as a cult in 1984, the report said.
