4. Paul Haggis

Famed screenwriter Paul Haggis, who is best known for Crash, Million Dollar Baby and Flags of Our Fathers, was an active member of the Church of Scientology for nearly 35 years. In 2009, Haggis decided to leave Scientology because of its support of Proposition 8, the ballot initiative which banned gay marriage in California. Haggis spoke out in 2011 saying, “I was in a cult for thirty-four years. Everyone else could see it. I don’t know why I couldn’t.”
