Alright, to move this little event right along, for the sake of argument, IL, let's say we were to concede your point that Scientology is a religion like any other. What then?
Is your whole problem with this that people have decided to take on them instead of militant Islam or something? Or that they've declared their opposition to one religion instead of all religion? Are people required to accept the existence of anything that exists simply because it exists and that creates some sort of first in time first in right quality that can't be challenged?
Regardless of how we characterize it (cult, religion, whackos, masters of the universe and psychology), Scientology has a demonstrated history of dangerous, subversive activity. That doesn't mean that there aren't other groups who are equally or more dangerous and subversive, simply that this one is the one that this group of people has decided to take on and try to break down before it can do any more harm. I don't see why that's such a bad thing.
