Would Scientology be so negatively viewed if Tom Cruise wasn't such a nutcase?

I don’t personally believe in Scientology at all, but think about it. Tom Cruise suddenly seemed to go bonkers with the Scientology stuff, and now Katie Holmes, who was very well-liked in Hollywood, is also viewed as crazy; speculations about Scientology rituals and unorthodox child-rearing methods run rampant in magazines and rags. But then there’s Will Smith, who is a known Scientologist, and nobody says a peep negatively about him. He’s still a beloved A-Lister, despite his beliefs.
