Exactly.

Scientology is a scam using copyrights to obfuscate the truth about that
scam and to silence its critics. It's operated by sadistic criminals who
exploit the emotionally weak and vulnerable for profit, by selling snake
oil to ostensibly help them - but which actually leaves their victims in
a traumatised state requiring deprogramming to recover from brainwashing
and other emotional abuse. The money conned from these victims is rarely
recovered, however, since the law protects the criminals' "right" to run
a business - which is what Scientology really is, albeit a criminal one.
The exploitative; abusive and highly unethical nature of this "business"
seems to have escaped the attention of lawmakers though, probably as the
lawmakers comprise a number of these "Scientologists", and the remainder
are simply bankrolled into submission; pretty much the foundation of all
American-style business in today's society, and indeed elsewhere. A cult
like Scientology is no more legitimate than the Peoples Temple cult, who
were all brainwashed into drinking poison. The only difference is money,
which is why Scientology is tolerated, but other cults are raided by FBI
agents with shotguns.

Now /that's/ the way to properly impugn the Scientologist cult.
