Tom Cruise might be leaving Scientology. But why?

This seems unlikely, but Star says Tom Cruise has been distancing himself from Scientology in the wake of his divorce from Katie Holmes and spending more time with non-Scientologist friends because he feels it has hurt him both personally and professionally.

"Tom's been leaning on friends who have different perspectives, getting advice on moving on from Katie as well as on everything he's been going through with Scientology," the insider said. "He's finally seeing that being such an advocate for Scientology hasn't served him as well as he'd hoped -- he's gone through three divorces, and his public perception has sunk to an all-time low."

Hopefully this is true because Tom Cruise is a genuinely nice guy by all accounts. I assume Scientology will try to harass him into staying but just ignore them. They're basically sci-fi nerds. They're about as intimidating as those gangs in old movies who walk together in a line snapping their fingers.
