That's not really the point anyway.  Anybody should be free to believe whatever they want, and if someone wants to believe the story behind Scientology, they should be able to.

Scientology is bad because of its practices though.  It requires tons of money to get into the group, it has broken into government facilities to spy on people, it's taken people hostage to keep them from talking...something should be done about it.

That should not be the case.
If I want to believe that Abraham Lincoln was a black dwarf with one eye, then started spreading my beliefs to young kids about it, should people allow me to?

Even Anonymous isn't against scientology as a religion, but are against the people who run the religion. By your examples Christianity is bad because the priest steal from, abuse and rape women and children.
Remember in the early years priests we're given power by Spain and most, if not all, of them abused that power in the colonies Spain has conquered.
