The reason why atheists and agnostics would 'reject' Scientology, is because like all 'religions' (and it's classified as one) it causes someone to look outside of themselves for happiness. Religion promises people so many things, that if they would just take the time to 'get to know' themselves, they might learn to make necessary changes where they need to, and live better lives. Instead, there are a TON of discontent religious people out there, many who profess this or that, but they don't seem happy to me in the least. There are many happy religous people out there too, don't get me wrong. But, it's not a panacea for what ails ya. If you are unhappy, religion won't magically make you happy. It is MUCH harder to self reflect and make changes, than to just run off to a cult or a religion and get lost in it. That's what a lot of people do.
When the going gets rough, some take to drugs. Some take to alcohol. Some take to religion. Vices come in all shapes and sizes.
