My Work Place Is Requiring "business" Classes That Are Based On Scientology. I Am Not Comfortable With This.

ETA: in california

I work in a small company, 25-30 employees. The owner pays a business consultant and has had him on retainer for years, maybe a decade. I knew this person was a Scientologist, but I thought that was separate from his "business" expertise and he had an actual business degree/certification/experience under his belt.

Well today, we had to take 4 hours out of our day to learn, I tihnk it was comunnication skills? tbh, i dont know what we were supposed to learn and even asked "so, what communication skills should we have to practice after this class" and he basically just threw together some buzzwords about wht we talked about but no actual skills.

Specifically, we learned about the ARC triagle and the Tone Scale. The ARC trangle I could have maybe let slide, I've seen such similar corporate communication bullshit before. But the Tone Scale thing was much more specific to scientology. I tried to look for more infomration and it only exsists in Scientology. In the lesson, I was asking him about where the weird number values were coming from and why was "apathy" closer to "grief" than it is to "boredom" and he was evading and unsure how to answer that. He probaly was told not to mention Scientoilogy by name but couldnt answer my question any other way. Cuz there is no other answer other than theton levels or the word of Zenu or whatever.

Anyway, I told my direct supervisor that I will not be attending any more classes. I don't think I will get any disaplinary action (i am pretty indispensable and have never been written up for anything before), but just in case, do I have any legal ground to stand on here? Are my religious freedoms being violated by being forced to listen to non theistic, but still religious based, lectures?
