I'd say that was weird.

Actually, Scientology is not a Christian religion. It's a science-fiction 
religion. (Although, I don't know what Tom believes per se.) L. Ron Hubbard, 
not 
a terrible sci-fi writer, but not a very good one either (he wrote sci-fi 
potboilers) deliberately set out to create a religion just to see if he could 
and 
to also make money.

Since he deliberately set out to create one and made his intentions known 
about why he was, it's always been a bit of a puzzler why anyone has bought it 
since. Also since anyone can read his previous sci-fi books and see he was 
prone 
to big flights of fancy and not very good a writer. Personally, I'd have to 
rank him as one of the master con men of all time.
