    Founded by a science fiction writer; secretive and indoctrinating. It's highly controversial due to its high profile 'members' like Tom Cruise and also the fact it hierarchy (and your position in it) is established by your monetary donations to the Church. Their beliefs are wacky to say the least, 'Lord Xenu' intergalactic ruler, spirits, see this video. To be honest I think it's one of the things the make me think "Thank fuck I don't live in America".

    I doubt their family would want anything to do with them after they've got involved in that particular cult...

    It's already been said, but lets go more in-depth :p

    Scientology was founded by Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, an author.

    If I'm not mistaken, their doctrine says that we all are descendants from a race of space people, and one day, the big mother ship is gonna come and pick us up and take us home.

    It seems to have a following, even in the Hollywood circle I think :x
