It is perfectly normal to think Scientology is idiotic. But it is wrong to think that Christianity or Islam or any of the other great religions are any less idiotic. As they're all founded on faith, and perpetuated through sacred and inviolable writings, total incongruence with reality is unavoidable, and glaringly obvious to anyone who has eyes to see with, a mind to think with, and the fortitude to draw his own, independent conclusions.
Respect has to be earned. And, a body of claimed knowledge that fails to provide any proof or evidence of its validity, even suggesting that such proof is unnecessary, deserves no respect whatsoever. To confer respect upon such a religion is to perpetuate the myths it promulgates.
