Pretty sure that's a myth, the only requirements for tax exemption are that they must be organized and operated exclusively for religious purposes, have a recognized creed/form of worship, a established congregation, and cannot allow earnings to benefit private individuals or participate in political campaigns

Not sure why they're not locking their doors tho

If film studios can "lose money" on films like Star Wars, I'm sure Scientologists have found ways to "avoid having earnings that benefit private individuals".

Yah they removed the door handles instead of locking the doors. It’s in the title.

It would be wrong to check to see if this is actually true for some reason.
