There's a difference between faiths established based upon spiritual intuitions and a cult started on a bet. Plus, scientology encourages a gradual numbing of a person to their feelings instead of wanting people to be open to experience and their emotions. Organized religions are cultlike, but still don't tell people to empty themselves regardless of how self-serving their use of doctrine might be.
