Scientology, Tom Cruise and Germany

Tom Cruise is in Germany making a movie about the 1944 failed assassination attempt on Adolph Hitler. The German government refuses to allow Cruise and company to film in the historic building where it happened. They say allowing filming would adversely affect the dignity of the place as the German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people.
Am I the only one who sees the absurdity of that? Can anyone tell me why that same reasoning does not apply to Catholicism and every Protestant sect containing the word “evangelical”?
And while we are on this subject, please help me understand why believing the Earth has been visited by aliens is silly cultism while raining bread, parting oceans and raising the dead is reasonable religion? I am stuck, please help.
