A cult would be a more accurate description than a religion. Cults cut off people and attack them when they leave. Cultists can never admit the truth because that means that they are wrong...about everything. Thus they always double down.

As the saying goes, it is easier to fool a man, than to convince a man that he has been fooled.

I agree that "cult" is a better descriptor, though it has nothing to do with any theology.

I submit there are two points (one is actually a question) they don't consider:

1)The one in the mirror is the one most readily deceived.

2)When was the last time you had to sell yourself on a good decision?

Any and all totalitarian groups -- such as cults or infected political parties -- will have a group narrative.
