True, but not by much. I get the impression he does it to get along in Hollywood, not because he's serious about it like Cruise and Travolta and others.

I thought if you wanted to get along in Hollywood you had to love the Jews.

I'm not counting that as a valid excuse.
EDIT : Hmm, I may be wrong about his being one of them.
Smith has said he has studied multiple religions, including Scientology, and he has said many complimentary things about Scientology and other faiths. Despite his praise of Scientology, Smith said "I just think a lot of the ideas in Scientology are brilliant and revolutionary and non-religious" and "Ninety-eight percent of the principles in Scientology are identical to the principles of the Bible.... I don't think that because the word someone uses for spirit is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different." He has denied having joined the Church of Scientology, saying "I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions, and I respect all people and all paths."
Calling it "revolutionary and brilliant" still qualifies him for being a dumb-ass in my book, though.
