I don't think Scientology is the same as Christianity. For a start, Scientology is a lot more totalitarian (at least in this life) than Christianity. Nor does it require you to pay increasingly vast amounts of money to keep unlocking 'truths'. It's not like you have to pay $10,000 for the book of Luke and $20,000 for the book of John, etc.

Mormonism and Scientology are much more similar in the regard that they were both founded by criminals/frauds and both secrete away their 'true' beliefs from people until they're so far down the rabbit hole that they'll believe any old shite. They're also both obviously rackets.
