Poor headline as often from the Guardian, but an excellent summary of
recent events + an attempt at a potted timeline for Scientology as seen
from the outside.

At first, when I saw the title, my heart started racing...thinking
"who came out?"

Then when I got to the part about Cruise, I just laughed. The title is
tongue in cheek. Cruise unwittingly led the charge, against his own
religion, making that video, and it being leaked. I think this writer
is very clever, and knows Scientology issues well. The more I think of
the title, the more I laugh. But the whole article is well done too. I
forgive them for the deception.
