They treat it as one.

Cult, scam, whatever. They suck, but that isn't the point.

Idk i think the only thing religion has going for it is tradition. Scientology is missing the tradition component which makes me think followers are just really dumb ir desparate for connection. Scientologist celebs are trying to cash in their influence by selling it to the church and lying to dumb people to try to get them caught up in a cult.

I dont see a defensible position for someone like that. I would want to know who is doing that and not buy their stuff, personally.

Edit: she was born into it, so im wrong.

I see a defensible position:

Cults are basically abusive boyfriends x1000.

If you leave or speak out, goodbye all family and friends you've ever known.

She was born into this.

You ever been brainwashed, either by a cult or just an abusive ex? I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but it would help you gain a deeper understandings of the inner workings of a cult, and how they retain their victims.

Her parents are like high ranking members, she was born into it. So either shes still in the church, which sucks but is more defensible than someone choosing it for themselves, or as evidenced by her queer lifestyle and song lyrics, shes left the church but doesnt want to completely burn bridges with all her former friends and family or possibly put them at risk by speaking out publicly.
