Has Scientology or the Church of Scientology ever been mentioned in Mage before?
Also, how exactly OP would the Church of Scientology be as a Mage faction in Ascension; considering the fact they are hands deep in the American government, tax exempt because they count as a "religion" (IIRC), has enough pull in certain law enforcement institutions to cover-up crimes they commit, crazy Paradigm, has vast connections among traditional media, etc. Also if they were an actual Awakened faction the context of Ascension, I'd be in the belief they'd be one of the most successful right next to or above the Technocracy.
Also what would be their primary Sphere? I'm deliberating between either Spirit (because of their wide belief of strange post-modern spirituality) or Mind (for how they are able to amass such a huge and distinct base of adherents; of which haven't really fizzled out like most other Cults face).
