He worked with Bridge Publications and headed up their "Illustrators of the Future" program, but does not appear to have been a full adherent of their dogma. While after his death a memorial was held at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center in Hollywood, his widow states that Freas was not a Scientologist.
