It would be interesting in both Mormonism and Scientology to start at the top of the org chart, and start polygraphing everyone and see how far down the chart you would have to go to find an actual sincere believer.
I would suspect at CoS, there might not be a single person on the org chart with a sincere belief in Xemu and the planetary colostomy. As for Mormon, I would concede the possibility of some sincere believers in a narrow strip across the bottom of their org chart.
There is a little apples/oranges thing going on too, we don't see any public apologetics for the CoS like we do for LDS. And I am aware at one time there was in fact a sincere individual for LDS and that when it just became too much for him, he gave up on LDS.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
