There is no question that the Church of Scientology is nonsense but I guess it's no worse than any other church. How are conventional churches any better or worse than the Church of Scientology?

Skillful brainwashing and gullible people.

Why does any religion exist? Christianity has been proven fraudulent (there wasn't a Nazareth in first century Palestine), Mormonism is an absolute joke, there was no Buddha, Muhammed was a bloodthirsty psycopath, etc. But instead of condemning old, obsolete religions, we SHOULD be inventing a new one more relevant to the modern world, based on reality. We could call it---Science.

Why does the fraudulent catholic church still exist? The fraudulent baptist church? You get my drift?

Is it any more fraudulent than any other church ? Not really. So the question then becomes why do all these fraudulent churches/religions exist ?

Correct. It isn't a religion. It is a tax-dodging tax shelter.

Money and power

For similar reasons that so many people have Ouija boards in their closets, avoid letting black cats cross their paths, consult their horoscope for major decisions, go to church/synagogue/mosque/reading room/temple regularly, and carry/wear rabbit's feet, amulets, and lucky coins.

Because some people will believe for very simple reasons: "It's so absurd that no one would believe it unless it was true" or "It must be true, because no one would write such horrible things unless it was true"

Level 7

The same reason all the others ones do, some people still believe.
