Scientology and many other religions have PERSECUTION COMPLEX, nothing more nothing less.
People make a lot of money off presenting themselves as "persecuted."
Everyone from blacks, to jews, and scientologists and gays.
There is BIG MONEY IN PERSECUTION COMPLEX.
Keeping the constant idea that one group is being persecuted because of its religion is almost necessary nowadays for certain types of groups to succeed, Scientology being one of them, and groups like Revered Jessee jackson and Al Sharpton are another.
