What does bowling have to do with Scientology?

 From HCO PL 16 May 1965 Issue II INDICATORS OF ORGS by L. Ron Hubbard:
“Dilettante = One who interests himself in an art or science merely as a pastime and without serious study.
In an org, this manifests itself with ‘people should live a little.’ ‘One needs a rest from Scientology.’ ‘One should do something else, too.’ All that kind of jazz.
Ask what they do the other nights. Bowling. Horse racing.
Scientology, that saves lives, is a modern miracle, is being compared to bowling. Get it? ... Scientology is an idle club to it [sic], an old lady’s sewing circle."
 And so, when I left Scientology, the note I left on my boss's desk read:
 "This is my resignation from the Church of Scientology. Not home. Gone bowling."
How important is it to me now? Not as important as bowling.

Oh - and I don't bowl!
