How did you miss Scientology? It was MANUFACTURED as a cult from the beginning.
Just inquire into the Great ElRon Hubbard.
The cults I am referring to are all alleged to be “Christian”. Scientology is not, but it is certainly a different type of cult.
Two books on the subject (there are many) are “Kingdom of the Cults” and “The Four Major Cults”. Both can be found at christianbooks.com and amazon. com. Breitbart and a few other websites were linking these books just this week. I read “Kingdom of the Cults” over 20 years ago.
