My post had Christianity in mind.
Strangely I actually think scientology is more rooted in reality that the three currently popular monotheisms.
Don't get me wrong, I am with you when you say it is bat shit mental, but their claims, as ludicrous as they are, break no rules of reality as far as I am aware (well, at least break them less readily.)
I would say that we are so used to the bizarre and peverse claims of - for instance - Christianity, that we fail to see how fantastically nonsensical they are, they are woven into our culture, whereas the claims of Scientology are relatively new, and conversely, novel.
After all what is more likely, aliens (basically us living in another location) or angels ? One is, at least, rooted in reason, if unsupported by evidence.
