Everybody has a hobby. Mine is watching reruns of 1950's game shows.

ETA: one of the most unintentionally hilarious books touching on the subject is The Kingdom of the Cults, in which the Protestant author discusses and identifies dozens of other religious groups as cults, based on his personal definition. The takeaway from his "reasearch": if you aren't an evangelical Protestant, you're a member of a cult.

My ex-husband thought this was a great book for identifying cults.

He was a member of Foursquare Church.

Once upon a time, my (now ex) wife was the recipient of many pamphlets and talks about breaking free from religious cults and whatnot from a zealous Southern Baptist neighbor. My ex-wife was Catholic.

I dunno, maybe the neighbor was right.

It is rather ironic that fundies and other Evangelicals see everybody else as a cult. It is the evangelicals who have a great love of a cult of personality. Whether it be Trump now or their pastors, they all have great signs of the group being about their leader not the faith (have you seen how many evangelicals have their ministry not named after their church but themselves along with always having their kids follow as the leaders of the "church").

Joey Gibson was struggling to find a parking place for his flag-festooned pickup truck. The residential Boise, Idaho, neighborhood was already crowded with people and vehicles, including a large motorhome with a “MAGA MONSTA” sign. (“She parked right in front of my driveway,” a resident shouted about the motorhome. “That’s not okay.”)

Many in the crowd on Saturday were not locals. Gibson, the leader of the far-right streetfighting group Patriot Prayer, had traveled interstate from western Washington. He and others were there to protest outside the home of a judge involved in the case of Ammon Bundy, the leader of a different far-right group. The protest, which Gibson helped promote by sharing the judge’s address on the Internet, was a melting pot of fringe activists deeply invested in Bundy’s already-contentious court case.

“We need civil disobedience and we need people who are courageous enough to go to jail while you guys haul them in there,” Gibson shouted through a megaphone at police who guarded Magistrate Judge David Manweiler house, while a crowd waved signs on the suburban street.

The protest outside Manweiler’s home, which was followed by a demonstration outside a Boise courthouse, was the latest development in Bundy’s escalating, and unusual, legal drama. The saga is testing the power of an alleged nationwide network of far-right activists Bundy calls People’s Rights, but also the ability of the legal system in a conservative state to hold even the most idolized far-right figures accountable.

Bundy rose to prominence with two armed standoffs against federal agents: first, in 2014, in Nevada, with his father Cliven, and again at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. (In the latter case, Bundy and associates occupied a federal building at Malheur, and he was found not guilty on all charges related to the standoff.) When COVID-19 swept the country in Spring 2020, Bundy returned to the headlines, this time leading a new group called the People’s Rights network (web registry records suggest he’d begun work on the group pre-pandemic).
