What are the major differences between L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology and Ayn Rand's Objectivism?

>> No.3907366

Scientology is a religion in which followers give up their freedom and money to join a hivemind collective of crazy people.
Objectivism is a philosophy in which followers keep their freedom and money to join an individualistic community of crazy people.

Scientology was created so that L Ron Hubbard could get rich by being the top dog of an enlightenment pyramid scheme.

Objectivity was created so that Ayn Rand could get famous and have "followers" in her pseudo-philosophy promoting greed and narcissism.
