It IS a person believing his religion is the only religion. All of Tom Cruise's beliefs on psychiatry come from Scientology, which is his religion. And it's not like he's advocating that people stand on their own two feet instead of getting therapy. Scientology advocates that people avoid religion so that they can go through their treatment instead. Don't interpret my previous paragraph as being against therapy. My point is that even if you have issues with the field of psychiatry, Cruise just complains about it in the hopes that more people will turn to his religion.
