It's strange, Scientologists are like the 20th Century version of the Mormons. It was basically founded by 'some guy' that makes claims that seem preposterous to those outside of the religion. Both faiths have all sorts of secrecy involved in their ceremonies/practices that only members with high enough standing can participate in or even know about. Both make recruitment very important to lesser members, and both face accusations that the church sucks money out of their members' pockets. I could go on, but I don't want to offend anyone.
By the time 2105 rolls around, they will have similar respectibility as the current LDS Church.
