Alliance with the Anti-Religious Movement

Keith Henson claims that his attacks on the Church of Scientology began in 1995 after an upset he had regarding an Internet newsgroup. However, investigation has shown that Henson had set his sights on attacking Scientology years prior to this.

On June 14, 1988 Henson paid for a membership in the Cult Awareness Network (CAN), an organization which spread scurrilous allegations about new religious movements and acted as a referral house for deprogrammers. CAN declared bankruptcy after a $1.8 million judgment against them for their participation in the kidnapping and attempted deprogramming of a member of the Pentecostal faith.
