Not Jason Lee!

After some inspiration from atlmalcontent's listing of Scientologists, the cricket did a cursory search for former professional skateboard, now actor Jason Lee, best known for his roles in Kevin Smith films and "My Name is Earl."

Jason Lee? No way, I thought.

Sadly, I was mistaken.

According to the Web site, Scientology organizations frequently send out newsletters listing the names of people who have recently taken classes. A researcher has collected some of those documents and made a database of the names.

She cautions that some listings could be different people with the same name.

The researcher's preliminary findings:

about 60 percent of people who try the "religion" do only a single course or service

80 percent of new members become inactive within two years.

65 percent of those who reach the level of "Clear" become inactive within a year.
