Cult	comment	A cult is a religious movement that's unusual in some way. Its exact definition in Real Life can vary considerably; most such definitions are controversial, viewing cults in a negative light. Our Analysis page lists the most common definitions. But in fiction, a "cult" is generally a pejorative term for a relatively new and unusual religious movement. The most stereotypical fictional cult — and thus the most tropeable — is a small and relatively obscure group of people, centered around a single charismatic leader, which recruits the credulous and vulnerable and brainwashes them to believe something weird. The leader is often a grifter who demands absolute loyalty and abuses their power. Cults can be played a number of ways. In a Crime Time Soap or Police Procedural, they show up as the bad guys. In comedy, they may be relatively harmless but believe in something truly ridiculous like aliens or Ancient Conspiracies. In Science Fiction, the aliens they worship might be real, but so sufficiently advanced that the cultists cannot understand their technology; or such aliens might be leading the cult in a God Guise. Many a drama show will draw from infamous real-life religious groups like the People's Templenote (committed ritual suicide and in the process helped name the trope Drinking the Kool-Aid), Heaven's Gatenote (also committed suicide, hoping to hitch a ride on a UFO), the Branch Davidiansnote a subset of the Seventh Day Adventists portrayed in the media as a Right-Wing Militia Fanatic group — the truth is more complex — most of whom died (including 25 children and two pregnant women) when their home was raided and they were gassed by U.S. federal agents, or Aum Shinrikyonote (responsible for the 1995 sarin attack on the Tokyo subway). Many a comedy show, meanwhile, will base a funny cult on the Church of Happyology. Certainly, only a minority of cults are like this. But these are the most interesting, so that's why fiction likes that kind of cult. Broadly speaking, fictional cults fall into one of these subtropes: The Apocalypse Cult, which tries to induce The End of the World as We Know It; The Cargo Cult, which worships a non-living MacGuffin of some kind; The Breeding Cult, which intends to populate Earth with a specific type of human, often a superhuman of some kind; The Religion of Evil, which likes to do evil things like worship a God of Evil, conduct Human Sacrifice, or awaken powers that really should be left alone — often defined with respect to an established religion (e.g. Satan worshippers) or story (e.g. Cthulhu worshippers); The Scam Religion, which doesn't actually believe anything — it's run by a Con Artist looking to take advantage of people. Some also blend in with a few other groups that aren't strictly considered cults. They might overlap with believers in an Ancient Conspiracy but be seeking to revive it. Or they might believe in Ancient Astronauts or other aliens and start worshipping them, couching their religious beliefs in sketchy science. Or they might be a very strange offshoot of an established religion, painting their leader as the Second Coming of an established religious figure. Regardless of the kind of cult, on TV they often do at least some of the following: A charismatic and exploitative leader. A Manipulative Bastard who often employs Brainwashing (or, in less realistic works, Mind Manipulation). The leader preys on vulnerable people, exploiting their fears and neuroses for their own ends. Nobody ever questions the leader; anyone who does is punished or expelled. Many cults have a strict hierarchy, allowing multiple layers of manipulation and providing members the illusion of upward mobility. The leader may or may not actually believe their own story; if they don't, the cult is probably a Scam Religion. Sometimes a leader is shown believing they are really in touch with spiritual realities and trying to provide help and salvation, but that it's sometimes necessary to employ deception and trickery in the course of getting people to listen. Theyâ€™re pretty much by definition a False Prophet, except in the unlikely case the cultâ€™s beliefs turn out to be true. Total retreat from society. Members abandon their former lives and move in with the cult, usually in an isolated place far from civilization. They can no longer associate with people outside the cult. They are often expected to give up their worldly possessions (sometimes to the leader). Communal living is common; the cult will want to be self-sustainable, with no help from the outside world. This often requires manual labor from the rank-and-file, which usually goes unpaid. Some might interact with the outside world offering a product or service; one can expect that the proceeds all go to the leader. Absolute secrecy. This is the hallmark of a TV Mystery Cult, which can overlap with any of the subtypes above. The cult's beliefs are only shared with its members; outsiders cannot learn anything. And even within the cult, the full range of beliefs is only shared with the absolute highest levels, forcing members to prove their worth if they want to learn more. Expect a Secret Circle of Secrets. Cults are also obsessed with hiding any internal conflict, particularly from the outside world; it may be that Happiness Is Mandatory. Paranoia and belligerence. TV cults often ensure obedience by painting the outside world as scary and dangerous. They may amass weapons and prepare to fight any intruders. They'll be extremely distrustful of government authorities (which, in a Police Procedural, includes the protagonists, hence the popularity of this type of cult). This belief usually conditions members to take extreme measures, like mass suicide, ambitions to Take Over the World, or causing The End of the World as We Know It. Alternatively, they may employ an Army of Lawyers and simply threaten to sue anyone who criticizes them. This paranoia extends to within the cult as well; members are always being watched, to prevent them from doing anything subversive. Loss of individuality. TV Cult leaders look for absolute conformity, to the point of essentially creating a Hive Mind. Everything the members do is dictated by the cult, from how they dress (nothing says "cult" like a group of people all with matching jumpsuits and shaven heads) to what they eatnote Many TV cults enforce vegetarianism, which may have a biological purpose — if you don't get enough protein, or if you're just hungry all the time, it's harder to think for yourself to how they have sex. Indeed: Bizarre sexual practices. TV cults often focus on sex. In many cases, the manipulative leader is a Harem Seekernote Real cults are just as likely to be led by women, but a TV cult leader is usually male. The cult may engage in sexual practices ranging from the potentially dangerous (polygamy) to the extremely harmful (pedophilia). They often arrange marriages for their members, and occasionally hold mass wedding ceremonies. Women may be forced to become Baby Factories, especially in a Breeding Cult. Children are often taken from their parents and raised communally, often abusively. Sex Magic may be involved. The leader is often shown enthusiastically partaking in these sex things, suggesting the cult's entire purpose is to give them a set of Sex Slaves. Bizarre beliefs and rituals. In general, a TV cult's gotta believe something weird. Aliens, impending cataclysms, Ancient Conspiracies, you name it. Rituals will often be harmful or dangerous, often involving self-harm of some kind; Blood Magic and Slave Branding is common. At their worst, cults engage in Human Sacrifice, especially of children or virgins. They may also believe that Science Is Bad and reject modern medicine, often leading to someone tragically dying of a treatable condition. Political conquest. These types of TV cults will try to gain any political recognition whenever possible. After all, there's a reason for the saying "Spread the word of god!" In some works, there may be an emphasis on deprogramming. In The '70s in particular, the deprogrammer was a bit of a subtrope of its own — a single heroic, knightly figure will rescue (read: kidnap) a cult member, subject them to hours of debriefing, and teach them how to question the cult and its leader. Said cult member is usually an attractive young woman who hooks up with the deprogrammer in the end.note This particular portrayal was so common — indeed, even in Real Life (partly due to well-meaning counselors taking television examples as instruction manuals) — that deprogrammer Joe Szimhart wrote a whole article on how filmmakers could more realistically portray deprogramming. Anyone who successfully leaves a cult is a Cult Defector. Not to be confused with the horror Role-Playing Game KULT, the Freeware Game Cult, the series Cult, or with the rock band The Cult. And while brilliant blue sea creatures do exist, they're never venerated. Nor should it be mistaken for a Cult Classic, which has nothing to do with a cult (although some cult classics can be about cults, like The Wicker Man (1973) and Manos: The Hands of Fate). Although this trope is Truth in Television, No Real Life Examples, Please!. Allowing real life examples would just encourage people to add religious groups they don't like, regardless of whether or not they're really cults. noreallife

While extorting money from people does play a role in the religion, Xavi it seems is a genuine Love Freak who does actually believe in his silly dogma. For the most part, the Xavists are largely the comedic relief of the series and even have a talent for getting other characters to convert, most notably Motonari, AKA "Sunday Mori".

Although the main character is a True Believer, she's also intelligent and insightful enough to recognise that, while the cult's founder (her grandfather) is obviously the Chosen of God, he's also a bit of an old rogue. It turns out he's much more of a rogue than she imagined, while at the same time less of a fraud than the reader might expect. He really did have a religious experience, and devoted the rest of his life to figuring out what it meant. It's her brother who wants to turn it into a Scam Religion.

When a pregnant preteen girl is brought to the hospital, a path is traced to a cult she's a member of. During a standoff at the start of the episode, all the children in the compound are killed by its leader. In the climax of the episode the pregnant girl threatens to kill Olivia if she tries to stop him and cannot be talked down. A horrific ending (as Olivia might have to shoot the child to save herself) was barely averted because the leader claimed in a rant he was greater than God — the girl killed him instead.

Cult / int_1e9c0623	comment	The same applies in RuneQuest, older by about 25 years; practically every resident of Glorantha joins a "cult" of one of the hundreds or thousands of gods, and gains some magic from that god. Even the state religion of the Lunar Empire is technically a "cult". The game uses the older, anthropological definition for a "cult", a tiered religion that teaches deeper mysteries of the cult's beliefs to those in higher positions than those in the lower ranks. Since religious understanding comes with very real supernatural power and responsibility, it makes sense for nearly all religions to form as cults — especially after the God Learners unintentionally demonstrated what happens when people try to collect as much of the knowledge as possible without giving a thought to the responsibilities.

Cult / int_20e955d2	comment	Leviathan: The Tempest likewise has cults as a core game element, as befits a game about playing creatures straight out of Lovecraft. There are even mechanics for defining exactly what kind of cult you have: whether it's an actual Religion of Evil with formal worship services and a priesthood, a secret society where everyone meets in masks and black robes, or a gated community with its own culture in which everyone is a member of the cult. The game also specifically notes that a Leviathan's cult will almost always conform to most of the negative stereotypes associated with the word "cult". The Wake means that every single one of a Leviathan's Beloved is a mentally broken and psychologically dysfunctional individual, and only the iron-fisted control a sterotypical cult provides will allow the Leviathan to keep his Beloved pointed in the right direction and even vaguely stable.

Its tenets range from the harmlessly ridiculous — wearing bear-skins and staggering drunkenly about the woods is a common manifestation of their faith — to a much less entertaining vein of overt racism; based on an ambiguous phrase in Belar's holy book, they believe the Alorns have to lead the other nations into the war with the Angaraks by subjugation, a plan which would embroil the West in a massive war and leave it wide open for Torak to conquer most of the world. Most of the characters treat Bear-Cultists as morons who are dangerous mostly because they're too stupid and ill-informed to know how counterproductive their approach would actually be.

Humarise is a cult of doomsday conspiracists that fear Quirk Singularity will wipe out humanity except for Quirkless people. The cult worships Quirkless people, especially children, to a fetishistic extent thinking that being around them would purify them. They go as far to kidnap quirkless under the pretense of protecting them from the world.

Cult / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Movementarians on The Simpsons drew the titular family, and most of Springfield, into a collective based on worshiping a UFO. (They made them eat lima beans, although a diet of low-nutrition gruel was used to break down hard cases. Homer compensated by eating an entire month's supply.) It turns out the writers based the Movementarians mostly on Scientology. They managed to do this as Nancy Cartwright, a Scientologist, doesn't believe it's a cult. Go figure. Although it is also a combination of other religious groups, such as osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) or raÃ«lism. In the episode "Lisa's First Word", Homer mentions that his cousin Francine (originally Frank) joined a cult: "I think his name is Mother Shabubu now."

Cult / int_2664f44a	comment	Like a Dragon: In Yakuza 0, one of Majima's sidequests involves a woman asking him to check on her daughter after she's been swept up in a cult. The cult leader has his followers perform a variety of bizarre rituals peppered with gibberish to make it seem more spiritual, and scams his followers out of their money while also grooming young female members for sex. Majima plays along long enough to get close to the daughter and jog her memories before he beats the shit out of the cult leader, leaving him whimpering in agony while his cult tries to heal with their special healing ritual instead of calling an ambulance. Decades later, in Yakuza 6, Kiryu comes across a revival of the same cult in Onomichi, now scamming pensioners instead of impressionable young folks. Kiryu is asked by the original founder of the cult to help him take it down so he can save the woman he's fallen in love with, and eventually Kiryu beats the shit out of the new leader when he finds them out, leaving him whimpering in agony while his cult tries to heal with their special healing ritual instead of calling an ambulance (which the old leader finds oddly familiar). Years later in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Kiryu can once again meet Munan Suzuki dressed up in his cult get-up and seemingly streaming his sermons in public. However, he reveals that he's actually hosting an educational channel where he's using his experience as a cult leader to teach people online how to deal with cult tactics. The game also has Palakena, an ancient Hawaiian religious organization that has infiltrated every echelon of Hawaiian society and rules the criminal underworld, with all of their agents being suicidally devoted to their leader Bryce Fairchild.

They offer meditation and counseling sessions which have an extremely low but still notable chance of causing a "soft" Breakthrough, without the horrific trauma most have to go through. Unfortunately, the Fellowship is just the front for the Ascendancy, which thinks all the meditation is too slow, and causes disasters to make Breakthroughs the normal way. One government cape was part of a Christian offshoot cult with elements of Buddhism and emphasis on the "light of life." He broke through and gained powers based on these beliefs, letting him manipulate life energy in a variety of powerful ways... and was promptly exiled by the cult leader for being a threat. He's an atheist now, but his powers haven't changed.

Here they take a larger role in a series of side-quests for Michael, asking him to perform various tasks in order to advance through the Program's ranks, many of which involves paying increasingly larger amounts of money. The Altruist cult is malevolent cult made up of mentally-ill Baby Boomers disconnected from society who believe that all of society's current ills are caused by the younger generations and that, by cannibalizing teenagers and twenty-somethings, they can reclaim the youth and prosperity they had back in their day. They have a deal going with Trevor where they will pay him to "deliver" any youthful hitchhikers he comes across up to their compound, but after four such deliveries they turn on Trevor and try to abduct him too, to their detriment. Children of the Mountain is therapy-like cult that Franklin could be member if he wants and also happens that one of two Frankin's safehouse happens be living beyond their headquarters.

She is worshiped by them as an oracle, and has lived in the temple complex for almost all her life (she herself is well aware that she isn't an oracle, but plays the part because that's what she's done all her life). Revealed later to be a hoax started by her parents when she was a young child, and after her parents were killed in a car crash, the other leaders of the cult imprisoned her and used her as a Sex Slave. It's not made clear exactly how she regained control of her followers since then.

Cult / int_48d37237	comment	Brother Lightbeard's cult from Broken Age is a rare fictional example of a merely controlling and manipulative cult. Most of the members are people in the middle of a mid-life crisis or some other state of emotional vulnerability who were recruited via promises of a healthier, more enlightened way of life and pulled the rest of their families with them while cutting all ties to their former lives. They donate their money to the cult leader (who routinely breaks all of his own sacred commandments, a fact which is accepted by the cult-members since he's believed to be beyond human flaws), use aggressive psychological warfare tactics in order to break hesitant subjects into conforming to the rules (using an implied "spiritual scoring system" with "demerits" for such things as bad hygiene resulting in punishment), and eventually even get to the point of physically preventing anyone from leaving their community (claiming that it's so perfect that if anybody wishes to leave it, it must be a problem with them).

She's unnerved, disliking this false worship of her, but can't dissuade him. This wouldn't be so bad, misguided though it may be, but then she learns he's encouraging new members to endanger themselves so that Kara will rescue them, for a kind of initiation. However they can't do anything to stop him as he didn't explicitly order illegal acts. Later though he sets off a bomb under a crowded stadium to be their biggest ritual rescue thus far. Kara is weakened by the bomb containing Kryptonite, and convinces Coville he's wrong about her being divine, making him help defuse it.

The makers even said in one book that if the word had the same negative connotation in Creation as it does in real life, many organizations normally calling themselves cults would vehemently deny that they were such. There is actually a "Cult" background, which specifically refers to your character having worshippers. Some, most notably the Alchemicals, try to dissuade them. Pretty much everyone else responds with "w00t, free motes!" The main cults not directly related to worshipping Exalts are typically devoted to Yozis, local deities, or their ancestors, and one signature character — the deathknight known as the White Walker or Harbinger of the Ghost-Cold Wind — has dedicated his existence to forcing a fair arrangement on both sides.

Cult / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Very common in Dungeons & Dragons (though evil gods who are actual gods—as opposed to demons or devils—tend to have organized churches). Most recurring Arch-Devils and Demon Princes have their own cults, as do certain powerful elementals and other pseudo-deific entities. One of the very first D&D adventures, The Temple of the Frog, concerned a raid on the cult of an evil amphibian-god. The 3rd Edition version of the Deities & Demigods Sourcebook, which contained guidelines for designing religions and godly pantheons, described the dwarven earth goddess Dennari, whose followers were described as a benign Mystery Cult. Eberron has the Cults of the Dragon Below (everywhere) and the Blood of Vol (which has a couple of temples in most countries but is mostly kept secret), both of which fall under the heading of Religion of Evil in most cases. Forgotten Realms has the Cult of the Dragon as one of the setting's major villainous factions. They worship dragons in general but especially dracoliches, as they believe in a prophecy that states that "dead dragons shall rule the world entire" and are dedicated to bringing this about. By early 5th edition, a splinter faction dedicated to the dragon goddess Tiamat had taken over the Cult and shifted their focus more heavily towards venerating living dragons.

Cult / int_6c1d09b2	comment	One of the many bits of unimplemented content in Fallout 2 was a quest to procure fuel for their incompetently rebuilt two hundred year old space shuttle which they intended to use to return to their "Sky Father". A fully voiced epilogue for them exists in the game's code, apparently if the player character got them their fuel they would take off shortly after... and find out that they failed to make the hull airtight. Not getting them fuel would result in them concocting a fuel-analogue and blow the shuttle to hell during takeoff. Too bad it wasn't implemented because it'd be pretty damned funny.

Cult / int_6c1d09b3	comment	The Children of the Atom in Fallout 3, a group of people in the Town of Megaton who worship the giant unexploded bomb the town is named for. Their essential belief is everytime a nuke explodes a new universe is created. They're obviously crazy, or at the very least completely unaware of exactly how the bombs work which isn't surprising considering there aren't many people left who can properly explain how an Atom bomb works to them. Despite their obviously nutty beliefs they're quite harmless and the residents of Megaton tolerate them, even if most of them think they're nuts. The even gather round at times to watch Confessor Cromwell, the Church's leader, preach about how the bomb is so great! Probably because its good entertainment or they're one of his followers. Even if you effectively disable the bomb Cromwell continues to preach about its gloriousness. Of course, blowing up the bomb and killing him and everyone else, according to him, would probably be a blessing to everyone. Lampshaded in-game, where the sign that points to the Church building in Megaton reads 'Local Cult'. The Children of Atom take a nasty twist in the DLC Broken Steel, when one of the high-ranking members starts Stealing the Aqua Pura destined for megaton, and then irradiating it to lethal levels. Amusingly you can talk them out of it by pretending to be their Crystal Dragon Jesus. The original game had the Children of the Cathedral, a front for that game's Big Bad. The second game has Hubologists, a cult the player can either join or massacre. One of the many bits of unimplemented content in Fallout 2 was a quest to procure fuel for their incompetently rebuilt two hundred year old space shuttle which they intended to use to return to their "Sky Father". A fully voiced epilogue for them exists in the game's code, apparently if the player character got them their fuel they would take off shortly after... and find out that they failed to make the hull airtight. Not getting them fuel would result in them concocting a fuel-analogue and blow the shuttle to hell during takeoff. Too bad it wasn't implemented because it'd be pretty damned funny. Sounds like this idea influenced a quest in Fallout: New Vegas. In this particular quest, you can choose to aid a group of ghouls in their quest to use an old rocket in order to reach space and leave behind the racist human oppressors. Their leader is more or less a cult leader, though he's much nicer and decidedly not psychotic. If you get them the fuel, they take off successfully (unless you deliberately sabotage the launch). Amazingly enough, if their flight goes off without a hitch, the epilogue states that they actually survive and return to Novac in order to help defend it from Caesar's Legion. The Hubologists return in the Nuka-World DLC of Fallout 4, now lead by the descendant of the cult's founder. They believe a UFO ride to be an actual spacecraft and wish to use it to travel to space. Depending on how much power you give the UFO, they either survive with or get die from the G-force. Also in New Vegas, Caesar's Legion fits many of the hallmarks of a cult, albeit a highly militant one that has conquered/assimilated much of the American Southwest. Several people recognize in-game that the Legion is entirely built atop Caesar's personality and will quickly crumble after his death.

The cult leader has his followers perform a variety of bizarre rituals peppered with gibberish to make it seem more spiritual, and scams his followers out of their money while also grooming young female members for sex. Majima plays along long enough to get close to the daughter and jog her memories before he beats the shit out of the cult leader, leaving him whimpering in agony while his cult tries to heal with their special healing ritual instead of calling an ambulance.

The Whisperers are built around Alpha's Straw Nihilist belief that civilization in any form no longer has a purpose and everyone should live in the wild, a belief she enforces on her followers through violence and sheer force of will. The Reapers are the most clear-cut example, being Private Military Contractors who turned fundamentalist after managing to survive the chaotic early days of the Zombie Apocalypse, having become convinced that God chose to spare them specifically. The community in the Riverbend apartment complex has the trappings of one. The building is covered in crosses, the Commonwealth's intel says that they has mass multiple times a week, and their leader runs the place with an iron fist while dismissing the trappings of pre-Fall society by bringing up things like whores and drugs.

Cult / int_8d81f086	comment	An episode of Monk had the eponymous OCD detective infiltrate and get completely sucked into a cult, whose charismatic leader is played by real life OCD sufferer Howie Mandel. Humorously, while Stottlemyer's partner Randy and several other characters were trying to deprogram Monk, Monk manages to convert Randy. In a plot twist double-whammy, Monk manages to both alibi the cult leader and break up the cult: the leader claimed that he was never, ever sick, but on the night in question he was secretly receiving cortisone injections to deal with back pain. The cultists, upon discovering their leader is a fake, simply abandon him. Even liars sometimes speak the truth. For some reason Monk seems not to have appreciated, afterwards, that however dishonest the cult leader might have been, he had more success than Dr. Kroger ever had had in helping Monk overcome his OCD.

Cult / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Back during the Dan Jurgens era of Superman, there was a cult of people who praised Superman like a God. It wasn't something he liked. After Superman died, they began seeing him as a more messianic light, waiting for the day he would rise from the grave. And when four people bearing the S-Shield rose, factions took hold, each one rooting for the four bearers. It got to the point where Maggie Sawyer started to worry that a gang war of sorts would break out between the four. Another group of Superman worshipers would emerge years later, kidnapping and attempting to kill Lois Lane for marrying Clark Kent rather than Superman.

She (and several other women) eventually got married to the cult leader, though as time went on, his other "wives" left the cult and left him. Norma was the only one left after the rest of the cult eventually disbanded, and he felt disillusioned. He told her to leave, like the others, and she promised him that she wouldn't, causing him to lash out at her. In response, she calls him a "son of a bitch" and pushes him off a cliff in a fit of anger. Later, while in Prison for manslaughter, she becomes the center of a cult, and shows herself to be not that different from her cult-leader husband.

Cult / int_95bd5a8e	comment	In Dishonored, the Abbey of the Everyman is a slightly creepy, but otherwise perfectly normal religion with a number of harsh penalties for sin. Probably doesn't even count as a Religion of Evil. Their biggest problem is probably that they're too eager to blame things on the Outsider, the local devil analogue. The Outsider in turn strongly dislikes them (he's too old to really hate), and flippantly refers to them as "that cult dedicated to hating me." In Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, it is revealed that the Abbey is descended from the cult that originally created the Outsider by murdering an orphan boy in a profane ritual. The most high-ranking members of the Abbey always knew that the Outsider was not the ultimate evil they claimed he was. This makes the Outsider's comment more true than it seemed at the time; all of the Abbey's power comes from using him as a scapegoat.

It starts out as a group using serial killings and large-scale psychological warfare in order to tap into the public's fear and anger, in the hopes of overthrowing the corrupt system and bringing about an equal society. Except that's all a lie fed to its members — cult leader Kai just uses all that fear and anger to get himself a political career, at which point he shifts to far right-wing beliefs (racism, misogyny and totalitarianism) and works towards using his new influence to institutionalize all those beliefs.

This is in total contrast to the very mainstream fantasy counterpart religions of Faith Of The Seven, also called the New Gods (Catholic/High Church of England) and worship of the Old Gods (a naturist religion). However the Ironborn are quite similar to R'hllor worshipers. The Ironborn worship the Drowned God, and drowning people to the sea is an acceptable act of sacrifice to their god. Also the worshipers of the Old Gods use to conduct human sacrifices to the Godswoods.

They also live on the outskirts of the city, making homes in forests and old abandoned military installations, are more heavily armed than most actual mercenaries you run into, staunchly devoted to the collective, and intent on razing society. It turns out that many of the more militant aspects of the Spoonist faith are the result of the Big Bad using them to trigger a revolution, and their is plenty of evidence that Spoonism originally was a kooky but largely well-meaning religion. And, to be fair, it's not like Valhalla is really worth preserving.

Their primary tenet was that there were monsters under Mount Ebott (true) who were going to try to Take Over the World at some point (false). For a long time, they mostly kept to themselves, until Asriel showed up with Chara's body. They then became convinced that the invasion was imminent, so they prepared to fight it off, and anybody who got in their way for any reason disappeared. They basically held the town of Ebott's Wake at gunpoint until the Bureau of Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms showed up and got rid of them. Part of the reason the humans of Ebott's Wake accepted the monsters so quickly was because they refused to give the Sages any more credit than was necessary. If the Sages were right about there being monsters under Mt. Ebott, well, they had to be wrong about them wanting to take over the world. As fallacious as the reasoning was, the conclusion turned out to be correct. When the Anti-Monster League collapses, it turns out that they were being manipulated by remnants of the Sages, who now start attempting to stop the monsters much more violently.

However, it turns out that they all died of grief after learning the food they ate was contaminated and accidentally mixed with chicken meat.

Cult / int_af566418	comment	In Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, the Flamekeepers' Circle is a cult that worships an alien named Dagon, whom they believe uplifted early humanity. The Circle believes that Dagon will return to Earth one day and bequeath more alien technology to humans and transform Earth into a paradise. In the meantime, the Circle promotes the use of alien technology to improve life on Earth via modernization of schools, hospitals, etc. — this aspect of the Circle is what draws in Julie. All in all, a fairly benevolent cult. Too bad Vilgax's One-Winged Angel form looks exactly like Dagon... And when Dagon does return, he transforms everyone on Earth into his Faceless Goons.

It's stated a few times that many of the cult's lower-ranking members had only a vague idea of the cult's actual goals, which might explain why they were working to ressurect a race of creatures that despised all warm-blooded races and were planning to kill or make slaves of them the minute they came back.

Cult / int_b517d654	comment	Infinity Train introduces a cult primarily composed of children called the Apex in Book 2. While everyone trapped on the eponymous train is supposed to work to get a number on their hand down to zero (the higher it is indicates the further you are away from solving the personal issue that got you on the train in the first place) the Apex is instead dedicated to jacking up their numbers as high as possible. Due to the way the train works, this means the children cultivate their numbers as high as possible by ignoring their personal problems and wreaking random havoc on the train, which they see as their "right." The object of their worship is the mysterious Conductor, the one on the train with the highest number—who turns out to be an old woman who, as Book 3 shows, was completely unaware and uncaring such a thing existed.

The heroes end up allying with Sienna Khan, the leader of the mainstream White Fang who until recently was encouraging all of Adam's worst impulses, because at least she's not insane. Blake, Adam's ex-girlfriend, is especially annoyed when they have to infiltrate the cult and she keeps hearing people praising Adam with every breath. Ren exploits this to send her on a killing spree just by telling her "trust in Adam, and he will watch over you." When Blake kills the Albain brothers, some quick-thinking on Sun's part makes the cult think she's Adam's prophet. She is not amused.

Cult / int_b6b2363d	comment	The Endless revolves around two brothers, Justin and Aaron, who escaped what was described as a UFO death cult ten years earlier. When Aaron receives a tape from the cult that seems to indicate that they didn't kill themselves yet but might be about to do so now, the two decide to go to visit the group one last time. The commune seems a bit more sane than expected, and it eventually turns out that the version Justin has been telling the world and Aaron included lies to make the group sound bad. At the same time, there's definitely something strange going on in the area — something supernatural, but that might be seen as justifying the group's beliefs just as easily as indicating there's something wrong. Ultimately, it turns out Justin wasn't all that wrong when the thought there was something sinister going on and he needed to make up excuses to get them out of there: the group isn't suicidal in the normal sense, but they're caught in a long, inescapable "Groundhog Day" Loop at the end of which they always die and start again.

Dark Guild Grimoire Heart and Dark Guild Tartaros were cults in all but name dedicated to Zeref as well the former of which was led by a wizard who knew Zeref was still alive and wanted to use him to create a "Grand Magic World" while the latter was filled with his own genocidal demon creations dedicated to destroying mankind and reuniting with killing Zeref because that's his dearest wish.. During the Time Skip after Tartaros' defeat and Fairy Tail's disbandment, "Avatar", yet another cult of Zeref worshipers appears.

But the "good guys" have them too — there are many cults dedicated to the Emperor in unorthodox but non-heretical ways, while Space Marine Chapters tend to incorporate their Primarch or the beliefs of their homeworld into their religious practices. Naturally, the Inquisition's Ordo Hereticus keeps a close eye on these tolerated cults. The Adeptus Mechanicus worships a living machine for a god. But it's okay, really, because it's an aspect of the Emperor. They're probably not fooling anybody, but nobody wants to piss them off too much since they're pretty much the only ones who know how to use most of the machines and have their own in-house paramilitary forces to boot. The fact that they might actually be worshiping the Void Dragon and this being Warhammer, probably doesn't bode well.

Cult / int_bfd7c6e0	comment	The world of Drowtales has several groups who are seen in-universe as cults: The Kyorl'solenurn clan is the largest, with the most direct influence on the politics of the world. Originally a more zealous branch of the religion of Sharess, ever since the mainstream religion began it's decline several centuries ago, they've grown increasingly isolationist and extreme. They are somewhat tolerated since they gladly hunt demons for the other clans. They're secretly run by Light Elves (who order their Drow subordinates to persecute and exterminate their former brothers and sisters), and seek to turn Demon Summoning into a secret elite privilege. After Anahid takes over they mellow out, but are still Church Militant zealots. On the opposite end are Nether Cults like the group that eventually became the Vloz'ress, which started as a fairly harmless group who kept to themselves but still faced persecution for their beliefs. Once Sene'kha took it over and killed most of the mode moderate members, including the original leader, things went From Bad to Worse, ending as a literal Apocalypse Cult seeking to summon a demon overlord who could brainwash everyone into submission. note They failed; even the overlord couldn't control absolutely everyone, and Quaintana kicked their ass. The surviving clan dispersed after that. The Nidra'chal are a horde of demon summoners who created a mutant army of demonically-possessed Drow to try and take over the nation. Little is publicly known about them beyond their straightforward desire for conquest. They're the creation of the Sharen royalty, who used the clan as a diversion to assassinate their Empress-mother and take over Chel. Over the next three decades, they infiltrate multiple clans to influence politics, with the ultimate goal of turning the Drow race into half-demon multiversal conquerors with Snadhya'rune as their God-Empress.

It's populated by ponies who thought something was missing from their lives and thought they found it in this commune, led by a charismatic leader called Starlight Glimmer. She preaches that individuality and differences — in this show's context, ponies' cutie marks and corresponding special talents — lead to disharmony, and to reach true friendship, everyone should have their cutie mark and individual magic removed via magic, replaced with a = sign for a cutie mark and bland mediocrity. The settlement itself and the ponies there have a dull, uniform look (relatively anyway, for the ponies), at first sight everyone's always smiling suspiciously broadly, and under the happy surface any trace of individuality or longing for a different state of affairs is heavily policed against. Oh, and they also try to use actual old-fashioned Hollywood brainwashing when necessary, locking ponies in a room with propaganda constantly playing on a loudspeaker.

Cult / int_ccf875f7	comment	Criminal Minds sees the BAU tangle with a number of cults: Season One episode "The Tribe" has one kill college students at a party and members of a racist group, using Native American war rituals. Reservation Police John Blackwolf is brought in and note that the murders are confused mishmashes of tribal rituals. It turns out they are actually racist white people stirring up racial tensions to start a race war. Hotchner and Blackwolf stop them from shooting up a Native American school while pretending to be members of the racist group getting revenge. Season Four episode "Minimal Loss" features a cult that was once a libertarian compound before an exiled member returned and took over. Prentiss and Reid try to go in undercover, but end up as hostages and the rest of the BAU must negotiate for their release. Season Nine episode "Persuasion" has a cult of homeless vagrants inhabiting the sewers. The leader Ceaser has them commit petty thefts while giving him a share, and is controlled by a mysterious man known as The Doctor. They are being investigated by the BAU for the drowning deaths of members who did not give their shares to the leader, as well as a man named Finn Bailey looking for his sister. The Doctor turns out to be Marvin Caul, the stage magician who introduced Finn to the cult. Season Ten episode "The Forever People" has a cult that convinces people the world is going to freeze over, and that they must freeze themselves to prepare for this. The BAU believes them responsible for the freezing deaths of ex-members and they are half right as the murders are being committed by a member behind the leader's back.

When Tiberium actually arrived on Earth in the 1990's, Nod gradually went from a secret society to a global terrorist movement to something resembling the Islamic State in terms of reach, influence and ability to field armed forces. In Tiberium Wars, Kane uses Tiberium to summon an Alien Invasion. In Tiberian Twilight, he and his followers use a portal left behind by the aliens to actually ascend.

Yuri was the only one who went to school while the other children didn't. After Yuri told her teacher about her family, they broke apart and Yuri left her mother behind with her father and brother. It was later revealed that the "family" was actually a religious cult that discouraged education and none of them were biologically related to Yuri's family at all, and Azami was the leader of the cult. Yuri's mother also remained devoted to the cult even after Azami's death. In one story, Yuzuriha finds out that her in-laws are followers of a shady cult, her daughter is eventually indoctrinated by them. Akane, Azami, and Yuzuriha witnessed Karin saving a cat, they later come to her apartment believing she was a knight and chosen by God for her braveness, much to her annoyance. They also keep returning to Karin's apartment to annoy her with their babbling nonsense. In an attempt to get rid of those women, Karin pretends to be a follower of a cult named "Ramenism" and talks nonsense to them about the nonexistent cult, they decide to stop harassing her afterward. Tachibana is extremely devoted to a cult named Yorozuism, they forbid the use of medicine as they believe using them is an act of defiance against their god, Yorozugami-sama. His devotion to the cult ended up making him neglect his own wife and two daughters. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that Tokusa's mother Yuri has become a follower of Yorozuism. Azami attempts to get Yuzuriha into joining her cult. Fortunately, Yuzuriha is smart enough to reject her offer. However, Azami doesn't give up easily and she decides to get Yuzuriha's mother Tsutsuji to join the cult after coincidentally seeing Yuzuriha at the hospital. Irritated by Azami's behavior, Yuzuriha tells Azami's father about the cult she's following, causing him to teach her a lesson. Yuzuriha also manages to convince Akamatsu who also attempted to scam her into joining Azami's cult after losing his money and it eventually turns him into a devout follower of the cult. Akane frequently visited Azami's house to extol the virtues of the cult she's a member of, which is led by Hiiragi. All seemed fine as Azami was the only one who didn't meet her with throwing eggs or insults. However, Akane learns of Hiiragi's true colors when she finds a beaten-bloody Akamatsu, whom he beat up with a baseball bat. While Hiiragi claimed it was for embezzlement, Akamatsu revealed that he and the cult's higher-ups were also in it for the money, which prompted Hiiragi to beat the poor sod to near death before hitting Akane as well. However, she runs away to Azami's house and the latter calls the cops on him.

They even took over the country, and managed to change its name to Gilead, and established a theocratic government there. Women are treated as second-class citizens and have been divided along the lines of their fertility and marital status, while women who don't conform to Gilead's ideals are sent to work camps to clean up radioactive sludge without any personal protective equipment. Scientists, abortion doctors, Catholic priests, homosexuals, and people of color are executed, either by hanging, or by being sent to the aforementioned work camps.

Cult / int_f00d733b	comment	New World of Darkness is filled with all kind of variants, with various books covering them: Antagonists has an entire chapter dedicated to the various types of cults in the setting, how they work and how they can be used in your campaigns. These include sex cults, murder cults, frauds, secret societies and cults led by actual supernatural beings. Mummy: The Curse has it as a core elements; most mummies have a cult surrounding them, serving as their anchor to the real world. Leviathan: The Tempest likewise has cults as a core game element, as befits a game about playing creatures straight out of Lovecraft. There are even mechanics for defining exactly what kind of cult you have: whether it's an actual Religion of Evil with formal worship services and a priesthood, a secret society where everyone meets in masks and black robes, or a gated community with its own culture in which everyone is a member of the cult. The game also specifically notes that a Leviathan's cult will almost always conform to most of the negative stereotypes associated with the word "cult". The Wake means that every single one of a Leviathan's Beloved is a mentally broken and psychologically dysfunctional individual, and only the iron-fisted control a sterotypical cult provides will allow the Leviathan to keep his Beloved pointed in the right direction and even vaguely stable. In Princess: The Hopeful, mortals corrupted by The All-Consuming Darkness will often organize into cults to seek greater power and lure in more victims to corrupt. Most Dark Cults end up drawing the attention of the mortal authorities, but the few that are smart enough to operate concealed can make for terrifyingly dangerous opponents.

Both have a somewhat sinister ideology (Assassins believe in ensuring humanity's freedom by... well, the name is a clue; Templars believe that the truly enlightened- themselves- should have absolute control of humanity's government), induct members with spooky rituals, and so on. They don't publicly advertise themselves, unlike many cults, and many of their more far-out beliefs (like the one about Precursor aliens) are actually completely justified. They're outdone by the Instruments of the First Will, a group of weirdoes devoted to Juno, the setting's Greater-Scope Villain, and who are fanatically devoted to them. Even the Templars are weirded out by these guys.

Optimus Prime despises them and always refers to them as a "cult", partially because their leader Dai Atlas is such an abrasive Holier Than Thou sort that he accuses Optimus of being not better than Megatron and undeserving of bearing the Matrix of Leadership. It doesn't help that while the Autobot/Decepticon war rages, the Circle sets up a Utopia where there is no conflict or energy shortagenote thanks to being entrusted with the secret resting place of an ancient Titan who was able to provide such energy but refuse to aid outsiders. Unluckily for them, this means that no one knows where they are when they come under attack, and as a result, over 90% of their population are horribly butchered as victims of sadistic experiments.

It worshiped TV commercials for soda ("Come along, you belong, feel the fizz of Coo Coo Kola!"), and instead of mass suicide, it had the followers give up their worldly possessions, where they were secretly hoarded by the cult's brutish second-in-command. In a mild subversion, the leader fully believed in the commercial's rather upbeat message, though the Cult was still broken up at the end.

Cult / int_fb20cf66	comment	The Walking Dead Television Universe: The Walking Dead (2010): The Saviors are as much this trope as they are a gang, as Negan has built a Cult of Personality around himself as a messianic figure who will save and protect everyone so long as they obey him. The Whisperers are built around Alpha's Straw Nihilist belief that civilization in any form no longer has a purpose and everyone should live in the wild, a belief she enforces on her followers through violence and sheer force of will. The Reapers are the most clear-cut example, being Private Military Contractors who turned fundamentalist after managing to survive the chaotic early days of the Zombie Apocalypse, having become convinced that God chose to spare them specifically. The community in the Riverbend apartment complex has the trappings of one. The building is covered in crosses, the Commonwealth's intel says that they has mass multiple times a week, and their leader runs the place with an iron fist while dismissing the trappings of pre-Fall society by bringing up things like whores and drugs. Fear the Walking Dead: The Abagail compound becomes this under Celia Flores' leadership, due to following her firm beliefs that the walkers are the beloved dead returned by God and should be welcomed rather than killed. The otherwise-unnamed "The End is the Beginning" group led by Teddy, who believe that due to death being part of nature's cycle, then the Zombie Apocalypse should be welcomed rather than fought, and thus any attempt to cling to pre-apocalypse civilization should be torn down even if that means using nukes to do so.
