That so many fall for this diabolic deal tells us something about the failure of our own mainstream culture and it's real attractiveness. Some fall for scientology sect, because our societies cannot offer them what their mind is yearning for: managable salvation, a causal string of deeds that guarantees spritual freedom and happiness: the heaven in reach of your own hands, if only you reach for it motivated enough. Others see in it fulfilled the promise of living the ideals of our competition-oriented mainstream culture: to become powerful and priviliged in knowledge and by that earn more money at the end than what one has invested. Usually, the latter are few and the first are many, and the latter live from the first.
In the end, both end as fish hanging from lines.

Skybird is right. Its not about other religions. Its about how Scientology practices is believe on others. One thing to wave a cross freely. Another is waving when a noose is around you neck.
