Does Scientology deserve more scrutiny than other religions?

[Rev. Rye]

But it's still pretty clear where the money goes if you do some research, and it seems to largely amount to building new churches in remote outposts that will barely be used if/when they're finished to maintain the illusion of them being the fastest growing religion in the world, paying private dicks to stalk Scientology's critics, lining Miscaviage's wallets, and maybe if there's anything left, feeding the Sea Org.

That's not what I mean. There has to be some group making a profit. Investing in spreading the cult doesn't count, since that's only a means to an end. And I refuse to believe the end is nothing more than spreading the cult. It would be the first altruistic cult in history.

Does a virus need a group of ultra-rich Koch Brothers types to be allowed to run rampant? Honestly, the more I see it, it seems less of a case of some rich people promoting a group that pushes a nefarious agenda that benefits them and more a case of a group deciding to push themselves on the world and having the money (from the expensive coursework) to push their own nefarious (if incoherent) agenda.
