John Travolta is reportedly set to abandon Scientology after losing faith in the controversial religion following the death of his teenage son.

The Grease star and his wife Kelly Preston, two of Scientology's most prominent followers, are still struggling to come to terms with 16-year-old Jett's tragic demise after he suffered a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas in January.

Jett was rumoured to have battled seizures since childhood, but the youngster was not prescribed any medication to treat the alleged condition as Scientologists are generally opposed to drugs.

The sudden loss is said to have left Travolta with doubts about the religion he's followed for the last 34 years.

Scientology expert, lecturer Rick Ross, tells DailyMail.co.uk, "There have been strong rumours coming out of Scientology that John Travolta is disappointed that the religion was not able to help his son more. It's led him to question his faith."

As stated in "People" magazine yesterday:

John Travolta’s faith in Scientology remains firm.

A July 25 report in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper claiming that Travolta, 55, had grown disenchanted with his longtime religion in the wake of his son Jett's death in January is "totally false," his rep Paul Bloch tells PEOPLE.

"There's no change in the relationship between the Church of Scientology and John," says Bloch. "He is a member and it's as it was, now and forever."

Plus it should be noted that Rick Ross is not an "expert", he is a religious deprogrammer.
