Its public affairs director here, Graeme Smith, said: “We would like to be recognised by the Charities Commission as a proper religion.”In the past their definitions have been based on Judaeo-Christian religions which have a personal god.

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said there was no reason for it not to carry the ad and that it was discussing the possibility with the church.The Independent Television Commission, which regulates television advertising, said the advertisements would be monitored closely to ensure they did not denigrate other faiths.Scientology, founded by the late L Ron Hubbard, a science-fiction writer, and once described by a High Court judge as “corrupt, sinister and dangerous”, is generally regarded with suspicion by the British authorities and is officially banned in jails by the Prison Service.But the church, which has been in the UK for 45 years, is lobbying hard with the Charities Commission for status as a religious charity, one of the key recognition points in Britain for new or alternative religions.France, Italy and Venezuela are among countries which have recently recognised Scientology, whose adherents include the film stars John Travolta, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

They want to cultivate a professional ethos in which people have a greater sense of the worth of what they do, because it is part of a bigger reality.According to John Milbank, professor of philosophical theology at the University of Virginia, despite what Marx said, the real opium of the people is atheism.”Increasingly, the only people who are at all politically radical … They believe in miracles and angels and insist that unless the created order is the work of God, it is valueless and chaotic.Their aim is to end the divides between faith and reason, body and soul, secular and sacred, and they warn that society’s hankering for instant gratification is ultimately self-destructive and nihilistic.The radically orthodox are keen to free eroticism from its associations with guilt and suspicion, as long as love for other people becomes an affirmation of a broader existence encompassing God and the beyond.One of the movement’s key figures, Graham Ward, professor of theology and ethics at Manchester University, is critical of the way sex has become “just another commodity”.The radically orthodox believe that the creation of an underclass is the inevitable result of a free-market economy.
