John Travolta has defended Scientology by explaining why religion is targeted by critics.
The 61-year-old actor said that it is often scrutinized mostly because it's not understood and added that his advice is that people really need to take time and read a book, E! Online reported.
The outspoken Scientologist suggested that people could read New Slant on Life or Dianetics and he thinks if they really read it, they'll understand it, but unless they do, they'll speculate, which is a mistake to do.
As per Travolta, Scientology has become such a target for critics because sometimes when something really works well, it becomes a target.
Earlier the 'Face/Off' star offered an explanation when he was asked about HBO's critical documentary 'Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief' that he believed that the decidedly negative documentary was a product of people who were disgruntled with their experiences with the religion, but for him personally, Scientology has been nothing but brilliant.
