Have no clue, only know that the man, having written a couple of fairly successful science fiction stories made a bet with his buddies, that he could easily create a new religion by just writing the right book for that...

What I do like about the mormons: They have spent a LOT of time charting the families and ancestors of same of European origin and all of that these days is quite useful to anybody working on a family tree.

So, the difference between his book and the other ones: Tradition and/or lack of the very same.

No culture without tradition, no religion without a culture to back it up.

The same goes for man made global warming, by the way: Gore did a movie where Hubbard wrote a book :)
