Scientology cult uses dozens of front groups to make money and recruit followers
The Scientology organization is not only a vicious mind-control cult but also a multi-national criminal racket. It uses a large number of front groups, with seemingly altruistic goals, purely as a means to make money, obtain a "religious" reputation, and recruit new Scientologists.
This is a list of many non-profit organizations that are closely linked to the cult of Scientology. Many of these organizations describe themselves as "secular," when they are actually Scientology front groups, as per the "Church" of Scientology's own documents.
