I'll state that the difference is that the S cult requires faith/obedience and discourages evidence based analysis and critical reasoning all the while emptying ones wallet to 100%.
An operator of machines, if a real researcher, needs to design test parameters and then gather evidence in support of a theory or to disprove it.
Another difference between it and regular religions is that with the others the information is free and in particular in the Christian church it is encouraged to tithe 10%. This is in contrast to the cult where you have to buy the information, none of it is free and you are encouraged to pay 100% of everything and anything.
They are a danger to rationality and reason.
