In Pinsky's The Gospel According to the Simpsons, one of the show's writers recounted to the author that the producers of The Simpsons had vetoed a planned episode on Scientology in fear of the Church's " reputation for suing and harassing opponents ".
Pinsky found it ironic that Groening spoofed Scientology in spite of the fact that the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, is a Scientologist, having joined in 1989.
Pinsky notes that Matt Groening later " took a shot at Scientology " in Futurama with the fictional religion " Church of Robotology ".
Groening said he received a call from the Church of Scientology concerned about the use of a similar name.
