Or should scientology be taken down because of its' practices of exploitation and intimidation as opposed to its 'beliefs'?

People are free to believe whatever they want, but they aren't free to use those claimed beliefs (I can't honestly imagine that the people who run the organisation actually believe this rubbish) to swindle people, and that's even before we start to consider their infamous campaigns of harrasment and villification of their opponents, and the damage they've done to so many of their members.

When you think you about it, the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree....
