Does the Church of Scientology have a Creed? If so, what is it?

The Creed of the Church of Scientology was written by L. Ron Hubbard shortly after the Church was first formed in Los Angeles on February 18, 1954. It reads as follows:

The Creed of the Church of Scientology

We of the Church believe:

That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their
   performance;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;

That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;

That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;

That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist
   or support their own organizations, churches and governments;

That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write
   freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions
   of others;

That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;

That the souls of men have the rights of men;

That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not
   be alienated from religion or condoned in nonreligious fields;

And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these
   rights, overtly or covertly.

And we of the Church believe:

That man is basically good;

That he is seeking to survive;

That his survival depends upon himself and upon his fellows and his attainment
   of brotherhood with the universe.

And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid man:

To destroy his own kind;

To destroy the sanity of another;

To destroy or enslave another’s soul;

To destroy or reduce the survival of one’s companions or one’s group.

And we of the Church believe that the spirit can be saved and that the spirit
   alone may save or heal the body.
