Scientology has your number in new promo

Taking a page from the Mormons’ good book (to strain a metaphor to unholy lengths), the Church of Scientology has released the two-minute, feel-good, self-promotional spot below, using kinetic typography to cast itself as a global do-gooder and supporter of healthcare, education, social justice and human rights. That’s quite a contrast to recent scathing reports in The New Yorker and RadarOnline portraying some of the church’s activities as less than godlike. The accusations include physical abuse and coverups and make for salacious, riveting reading.
