Did you actually watch the show? It was VERY explicit about stating that Scientology is a global scam. I don't think that's a tenet of the Scientologist faith. Even if this was just a joke, the show was definitely MORE critical of Scientology than Cruise, Travolta, or Kelley.

Actually, after watching the episode, I can see why Isaac Hayes was offended. I can't say that he's unbiased. It's obvious that he left because it was attacking something he believed. But it is VERY obvious why he was offended: the show presented Scientology as completely untrue. I don't know if it's done that with any of the other religions. They've made fun of other religions, but I dunno whether they've explicitly called them untrue.
