Best Answer

The Church of Scientology organization is hierarchical -- there are no recognized autonomous congregations, by design. However, considering that the Church considers anyone who has taken a Scientology or Dianetics self-improvement class to be a Scientologist, only a minority of the official membership is actually actively involved in a Scientology group or organization. And quite a few more consider themselves Scientologists but do not check in regularly. So you could say their organization is hierarchical but their membership is mostly autonomous.

Is Bahai autonomous or hierarchical?

The Bahá'í Faith has a hierarchical administration: elected groups of people, one at the international level (the "Universal House of Justice"), one for every country, or in some cases other kinds of regions (currently called the "National Spiritual Assemblies"), and one in each city or town where there are 9 or more believers (the "Local Spiritual Assemblies"). I am not sure what you mean by "autonomous". The Bahá'í Faith is certainly not a branch of another religion; in this sense, it is independent, with its own laws, its own administration, etc.
