You are correct. I remember back in the seventies, the FBI raided the Church of Scientology. No one said boo, because, well, those people are not mainstream. However; legally they enjoy the same status as the Catholic or Baptist Church. If you can do it to one and get away with it, you can do it to another with the same legal status. Your opinion of culthood or not doesn't matter.
Scientology is now outlawed. It was banned and not considered a religion. The officers of the cult have cases under review.
