It is safe to assume that the Church of Scientology did not like paying for ads which effectively supported our site, and contacted Google about this. In the event of a hostile entity purchasing ads with the specific purpose of disabling the site's adsense account, what options or recourse does the site have?

But they can choose to block their ads from appearing on sites they don't like.
You might not have control over what ads are shown here, but the advertiser has control of what sites his ads appear on. If CoS had bawwwed to Google that they didn't want their ads here, Google would have gently pointed them to the "block specific sites" function.
It's quite possible that a completely different advertiser (there are a weird lot of ads that come up here) followed the link back here whilst viewing his advertising account, freaked out at his business being connected with the Thunderdome or the whole idea of a war against a "Church" and bawwed to Google about it.
