Scientologists tend to gloss over the fact that their late Fearless Leader, L. Ron Hubbard, was an avid practitioner of Magick (with a 'k') in the Aleister Crowley tradition. Or that Hubbard was a notorious liar, not least of which were his claims of bemedaled courage and glory as a ship's captain during WWII: all lies. Or that the Church of Scientology sued the Cult Awareness Network (CAN) into nonexistence and then bought the rights to its name--now, when a worried parent calls the CAN hot-line about a child mixed up with a screwy cult, they're talking to an even screwier cult member.

The list goes on. If ever an organization can be said to be satanically inspired, Scientology is it.
