Is Mormonism “Scientology Lite”?

Both Mormonism and Scientology are American-made “religions” and share a few important points in common.

After watching the “Going clear” documentary, that attacks an organization that many see as a sect, I could see many similarities between the two.

It seems true that many former Mormons familiar with Scientology and free to speak their mind, refer to Mormonism as “Scientology Lite” and see a difference between Mormonism and Scientology as one of degree only.

What I could see is that both organization are strong by exerting huge peer and family pressure, are highly secretive, have leaders that are worshiped like living gods, can't stand and punish detractors, are highly skilled at extracting money out of their members and are forms of cults.

Now, you know the difference!
