Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split after failing to "see eye-to-eye" on Scientology.

The "On The Floor" hitmaker—who called time on her seven-year marriage to the singer last month—was reportedly hoping to send the couple's three-year-old twins Max and Emme to a specialist Scientology school. However, Marc wasn't so keen on the idea.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Jennifer and Marc couldn't see eye-to-eye on the subject. She's always been more into the church than him. He wasn't a huge fan and it caused problems."

The 42-year-old star recently admitted she wished people wouldn't judge the Scientology religion—also followed by Jennifer's close friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes—before they know what it is.

She said: "I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."

Despite the couple's shock split, Jennifer claimed she will remain an "eternal optimist" and is still confident about finding love again.

She recently explained: "This was the hardest decision I've ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work.

"That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn't work—and that's sad.

"But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love... It's still my biggest dream."

    Rumor has it that Scientology also caused Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's split. Penelope got the blame, but apparently the church was long pushing Tom to bow out of the marriage bec Nicole, being the staunch Catholic that she is, is not into their religion. Remember the time Suri Cruise was born and the public couldn't catch a glimpse of her? That is because the church also has this belief that babies should be kept in a soundless world for their mental development. So she was kept indoors for most of her first year. Needless to say, kleng-kleng and church na to and the reason why showbiz denizens are flocking is bec they have a strong clout among hollywood celebs, and are capable of pouring a lot of money to someone who has a great potential of bringing in more money to their coffers.

    Big fuss over scientology! Ang alam ko lang ang sumali duon ay sina Tom Cruise and John Travolta na due to his belief na hindi daw binibigyan ng gamot his son who has an early death .... hey nabasa ko lang tungkol duon. You know, I don't judge people by his cover at baka pa ako ma-dimanda ng mga big stars na yuon... social ang bongga naman if so.

    L.Ron Hubbard the founder of Scientology was a science fiction writer who said that if you want to make money you have to start your own religion which he did and the rest is history. These movie stars in Hollywood who become scientologists do not know what to do with their money! The Church of Scientology are billions of dollars rich and they soak all these rich people. I wonder about how smart those peoplereally are...They think they're smarter than the rest of us though.

    It's NO surprise that Marc doesn't want his kids to join Scientology. Jen just want to join the FUZZ.
