LRH business tech: Atkinson-Baker says non-religious. Scientology says such training tax-deductible.

Atkinson-Baker claims the L. Ron Hubbard management and administrative systems it uses are "non-religious," while the Church of Scientology asserts the fixed contributions (i.e., payments) for training in such L. Ron Hubbard management and administrative systems are tax-deducible.

Thank you for expressing an interest in working for our company. As you may know, in order to assist us in running a smooth and cohesive company, we apply the management, administrative and business ethics systems developed by American philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. These administrative systems deal with business topics such as communication, organization, administration, marketing, promotion, business ethics and finance. While Mr. Hubbard is the founder of the Scientology religion, these management and administrative systems are non-religious and can be used by anyone without a requirement that the person change his or her religious or other beliefs. Indeed, the company is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in hiring or the terms and conditions of employment based on a person’s race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or other characteristic protected by applicable law. It has been our experience that by using and applying this business model we can expand our company, provide excellent service to our clients, and flourish and prosper in today’s challenging business environment.

How can Atkinson-Baker claims the L. Ron Hubbard management and administrative systems it uses are "non-religious," while the Church of Scientology asserts that the fixed contributions (i.e., payments) for training in such L. Ron Hubbard management and administrative systems are tax-deducible?
