However, it is my understanding that Scientologists deny the existence of God, and claim that belief in God was a hoax perpetrated by Xenu.
A straightforward question - with ramifications, page 1

I guess Xenu would be their version of the Devil, but I'm not I've ever read about who they think is the Creator. Hubbard, probably! Surely he is claimed to have reached apotheosis.
Funny you mention about what other groups the scientologists may associate with. About ten years ago, when I was living in Toronto, I happened to be on Young street. This is the hub of all the activity in the downtown. Anyway, Scientology has a big office on Young street - have for a while.
After repeated trips down there to scour the dingy occult bookstores, I gradually noticed something strange. Right across the street from the Toronto headquarters of Scientology, was a street preacher indoctrinating the passers-by in Raelian dogma. I used to have conversations with the fellow; I didn't even know the entire gist of what the Raelians were all about then, but the guy could talk up a storm.
Anyway, one day, while standing right next to this Raelian recruiter, I witnessed him give out some pamphlets and a personal recommendation. With that, the target was duly pointed toward the Scientology Toronto headquarters across the street. The guy disappeared inside the place (with the Raelian recommendation in hand). The Raelians were working together with the Scientologists!
Subsequently, I witnessed this same curious activity more than once.
