Anonymous doesn't oppose Scientology, but rather the corporation's abuses of its members and its critics. Our last protest focused on the family-destroying practice called "Disconnection" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnection).
In fact Anonymous is allied with members of the Freezone - the protestants of Scientology, who practice their faith outside of the organization. Many have left because they hold a fervent belief in Hubbard's religious teachings but do not agree with the immoral practices and required 'fixed donations' to learn more about the faith.
The corporation claims we are a hate group who is against religious freedom, but their own relentless attacks against members of the Freezone exposes a hypocrisy that the corporation has yet to address.
