Tom Cruise constantly seems to be in controversial headlines about his religious beliefs. The actor is a Scientologist and used to be a very vocal supporter of the Church of Scientology. But in recent years, he has been rather low-key about any involvement with the organization. Cruise had been a very strong advocate of his beliefs and this led to some uncomfortable stories being revealed.
The Church of Scientology is a group of interconnected corporate entities and other organizations devoted to the practice, administration, and dissemination of Scientology, which is variously defined as a cult, a business, or a new religious movement. TheTop Gunactor has very publically aligned himself with the movement.

Alex Gibney Wanted“Reckoning”for Tom Cruise
Alex Gibney is the director ofGoing Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015). In the film, Gibney interviewed former members of the Church of Scientology and revealed the abuse and the strange practices within the cult organization. The film was strongly denounced by the organization upon its release.
In a conversation with Rolling Stone, Gibney was asked aboutTom Cruiseand his involvement with the Church of Scientology. The director explained that Cruise isn’t such a strong advocate for it anymore, because his stardom is too important for him.
Since Cruise has taken a step back in recent years, there haven’t been many controversial stories or rumors. However, Gibney admitted that he was surprised the actor didn’t face consequences even for his prior involvement.
“And I’m kind of surprised. I think he took a step away, so he’s not the kind of ambassador for Scientology that he used to be — not like he was back in the day when he was making [2005] War of the Worlds and had a Scientology tent on the set.”
“Being a star is super important to him,”he continued.“I agree, there hasn’t been any reckoning for him. It’s surprised me.”
