Christian Science appeals primarily to post-menepausal genteel ladies. Founded by Mary Baker Eddy, who thought she was deep but completely murdered Plato. This group is basically harmless,quiet, with decent looking churches, no clergy (just readers??) and a soloist rather than a choir for music. Not bad so far. So why ranked so low. Well, their "theology" is probably more far out than even the Mormons. At bottom it is idealism gone truly mad. Everything "bad" is just in your mind. So your arm is cut off in an accident----HOLD IT. You just THOUGHT it was. If you can think right the severed limb will jump up and reattach itself to your shoulder!! Really, it will!!
These believers have no real need for ethics. I told you, BAD is just in your head. So why worry about others.
As far as aesthetics go---well I've never been in a CS service. But as I said above, their church buildings can be nice. And they are quiet. Oh, I forgot. They never knock on your door! In sum, crazy, crazy beliefs but lady-like faux Boston manners. If your daughter wants to marry a CS, make sure she has a pre-nuptial agreement that her husband would never, repeat NEVER, receive control over her medical care. Of course, probably not necessary because not sure there is any male CS under 55.
