Yeah, just the fact that you are in a position where you are wondering if he's messing with you, in itself is worrying to me. That's not the kind of thing I would want to be wondering about a therapist.
I would suggest at least asking him what he thinks about the organization himself, and press him to make more than a passing comment about it. But to me it's a situation where smoke is more than likely equal to fire. Of course he's only going to hint at it, see if you bite.. whereas if he was even remotely educated about it (which someone in his field absolutely should be) and not affiliated, he wouldn't get anywhere near it. Just my personal opinion, but it's a fairly educated one on this particular topic.
