When the word cult is mentioned, some people may think not only of the tragedy in Waco, Texas but also of Jonestown and the murder/suicides there on l8 November l978, when 913 died following the order of Rev. Jim Jones to drink cyanide laced Kool-Aid.
Both of these cases instantly became the focus of the worlds attention. Since the two groups were U.S. based, there is a danger that many people in the U.K. may consider the cult issue to be a North American problem and one that does not affect people here in Britain. They do so at their peril.
Figures quoted for the UK usually indicate 500+ cults in operation here. On a per capita basis the U.K. has a similar problem with the number of cults to that of the U.S.
Humans are super susceptible to charisma, tribalism, and dogma

China had a serious problem with cults, while Japan and Korea are heavily influenced by America, I don’t see that reflected in their cults.
Its not like the UK is less influenced by America than places were the average person has seen like 1 American TV show or movie.
