I view Scientology as more of a fad that the Liberal elite take part in, something akin to a social club. I don't think it'll be something that stands the test of time. It's not appealing to the regular masses.
I agree that scientology is no nuttier than religions such as Judeo-Christianity; probably less so. We only think it's crazier in comparison to the Abrahamic religions because we've been indoctrinated since childhood to believe in the latter; this essentially makes it more rational to adhere to its beliefs. Scientology is relatively new, therefore less acceptable. If the reverse were true -- if the Abrahamic religions were conjured up in the 20th century, and Scientology millennia ago -- we'd think the former more insane.
