Joining the conversation, the Church of Scientology has launched an official channel on YouTube at youtube.com/ChurchofScientology.

The channel is meant to "expand its Internet presence and share the truth about Scientology's beliefs with the general public," the church said Monday in a press release.

"The Church has initiated the expansion of its online video presence on YouTube in response to the global demand for video content and accurate information about its beliefs, practices and its humanitarian programs addressing drug abuse, illiteracy, human rights and disaster relief."

The Scientology YouTube channel offers a video player experience and advanced menu options for the Church's 82 broadcast-quality videos, comprising almost 3 hours of content.
