I voted no because I make the comparison from a slightly different perspective; not so much for the beliefs, but for the creation of the religion and the structure. I think Scientology and Mormonism share a lot of similarities. Their founders put themselves central to doctrine, Paul made his about someone else.
Perhaps it's because Christianity has been neutered over the years, but it seems a lot less practiced in mind control and coercion. Auditors and Mormon Bishops are loathsome, power hungry control freaks.
