Why is Anonymous protesting against the Church of Scientology?
Anonymous is protesting against the Church of Scientology for a number of reasons: humans rights violations, the "Church's" policies like "Fair Game," and its tax exemption, among many other reasons.

Anonymous is not protesting the religion, the faith, because Scientology is neither. Or the right to have the faith of your choosing, but the procedures and practices of the Church and the harm they've caused to thousands. Anonymous is against their fair game policy, their tax-exempt status despite being operated like a business, and their violations of basic human rights.

Why does Anonymous wear masks during protests?
Anonymous wears masks to prevent their identities from being known. If people knew who we were then we are not really Anonymous at all.

Anonymous also wears masks to protect them from being Identified by the Church of Scientology. The Church of Scientology has a history of litigating/harassing their critics. And for that very reason Anonymous members hide their faces.
