The Church of Scientology is notorious for its systematic abuse of its members. Coercion include forced donations, psychological intimidation, as well as stalking and even physical assault if members attempt to leave the organization. Murders have occurred and scientology members have been charged - and convicted - for crimes against "apostates".
Essentially the organization preys on the vulnerable in society who are sold the idea that they are in a weak situation because of society and science. The organization basically offers an opiate to trick people into thinking they can escape from their problems. In this respect, it shares a common characteristic with mainstream religion.
Scientology - the repudiation of science and logic as well as the embracing of wild conspiracy theories that its "leaders" fancy - is anything but benign.
