Scientology is a crude crossover of wacked-out science fiction (the dime novel kind), plain fascism and a f#cked-up multi-level racket. Basically humans are potential super beings suppressed by the wrong thoughts and bad circumstances, any critics are declared "suppressive persons". You can develop your inner uebermensch by paying huge "tutorial fees" to pay for your own brainwashing and earn whatever they call their brand of good karma by luring friends and relatives into the scheme. Leaving the cult is pretty hard, as they're applying gestapo-like techniques of divide and conquer against internal opposition and people from outside the cult. I'm a hardcore atheist and not a fan of religions in general, but "real" religions (nowadays) really have nothing on the Hubbard system of belief and extortion.
Yes, they do some pretty messed up stuff. Parts of it were traumatic for me as a child. I've seen what it's done to my dad and his relationship with his family including me. The only good thing about Scientology is the doughnuts they serve at their gatherings
