Cults BAD!!! No cults, NO!!!
This is what Scientologists ACTUALLY believe:
Xenu was an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecrafts resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans. L. Ron Hubbard (a science-fiction writer and the creator of Scientology) called these clustered spirits "Body Thetans," and the advanced levels in Scientology place considerable emphasis on isolating them and neutralizing their ill effects.
To rid ourselves of "Body Thetans", we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the “church” who uses an "e-meter" to measure our “reactive mind” in order to clear our mind of “engrams” (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind)...... and we have to pay lots and lots and lots of money to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher “levels” in the “church”.
Scientology is undeniably a cult.
Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five characteristics:
1. It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
2. It forms an elitist totalitarian society.
3. Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma.
4. It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people.
5. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
Are Cults Harmful?
To remain within the strict mental and social confines of a cult for even a short time can have the following disastrous effects:
Loss of choice and free will. Diminished intellectual ability, vocabulary and sense of humor. Reduced use of irony, abstractions and metaphors. Reduced capacity to form flexible and intimate relationships. Poor judgment. Physical deterioration. Malnutrition. Hallucinations, panic, dissociation, guilt, identity diffusion and paranoia. Neurotic, psychotic or suicidal tendencies.

How many movie actors/actresses do you know who are Scientologist?
Now think of your question. You don't hear about people's religion when it comes into the news, you hear more about their personal lives, family, friends, premiers and other nonsenical crap that makes religion do nothing close to factor into publicity. Unless you want to look like a cult member who wastes cash, risks getting assassinated by Scientologist extremists whilst looking even dumber with an E-Meter which is only triggered by the pressure in people's hands. It is pretty much a waste of time, money, space and matter.
Also Hubbard.

Thank you for your time

Pan's Labyrinth, Slumdog Millionaire, Clerks, The Sandlot, 10 Inch Hero, Charlie Bartlett and Scott Pilgrim v/s the World are just a few. Not big names but HUGE entertainment.

Of course you can...if you have the talent. Are you talking about Tom Cruise? I think he's a little wooden puppet when it comes to acting. I don't watch anything he's in. I got sick of looking at that same arrogant smirk

Yes you can. Charlton Heston has done it for years. He is one of the biggest conservatives in Hollywood.
