Cult Practices

Cult practices refer to the rituals, beliefs, and social behaviors of groups that often deviate from mainstream religion or societal norms. These practices can include intense devotion to a leader, exclusive beliefs, and isolation from outside influences. Cults often establish a strong community, using persuasion and emotional manipulation to maintain loyalty. Members might undergo initiations and follow strict rules that govern their daily lives. While some cults can be benign, others may exploit or harm individuals, leading to psychological or social issues. Understanding these practices helps identify the difference between regular groups and potentially harmful ones.
