ELI5: Why is the concept behind Scientology not taken seriously, when most other religions are just as scientifically implausible?

Part of it is the fact that it's a new and small religion, so we aren't as used to it. Another reason is that some of the beliefs are pretty clearly false, such as the belief that the higher-level members have superpowers or that the unprepared might die if they hear the whole Xenu story.

But the main reason is probably because the church acts in immature and predatory ways, so we don't take them seriously and we don't feel the need to respect their beliefs if they're just using them to make money off of their followers.
