Legitimacy can be proven two ways. one way, the traditional way, is to get on the good side of popular opinion and convince people that you're not in it for the money. The other way, the Scientologist way, is to bombard the IRS with hundreds of millions of dollars of lawsuits until they give up and call you tax-exempt.
