A science fiction writer gets folks to believe him that live a fantasy life in the first place. Based on how Tom seems to have succeeded in alienating Nicole Kidman from their adopted children I can see why Katie wants full custody and did what she had to in secret. Poor kid. A young, star struck girl married a shark in Tom. Now she’s older and matured/smarter and wants no part of Tom’s “alien” culture. Don’t blame her. She hasn’t looked happy since the first couple years of their marriage.

That's what I've always wondered, it is babble and no logic is found. I remember hearing Ron Hubbard in the 60s on radio, so I listened 2-3 times, he never made sense. Yep, it is strickly fiction and poor fiction at that.

Because he established a religion that allows them to do anything that does not upset their conscience.

Now with the already loose conscience of Hollyweird, that is all the excuse they need to join.

It all started as a bar bet between Robert Heinlein and L Ron Hubbard. Given his writings my guess is that Heinlein bet that the religion would take off. And it either got away from Hubbard, or he just went along for the ride, getting wildly richer than he could ever have hoped as a writer.
