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.

And, L.Ron used to beat his wives, in the words of his son L. Ron Jr. (who has since changed his name), he "beat them, beat them bloody".
The internet is killing the church, once an organization's "secrets" are published to ridicule, they fall apart, same thing happened to the KKK.
