Moral cult
A moral cult is a group that rigidly promotes a specific set of moral beliefs, often demanding strict adherence and presenting these beliefs as universally true or superior. Members may isolate themselves from differing viewpoints and sometimes pressure others to conform to their moral standards. These groups can foster intolerance and suppress critical thinking, viewing dissent as a moral failing. Unlike mainstream ethical discussions that encourage open dialogue, moral cults prioritize unwavering loyalty to their moral code, which can negatively impact personal freedom and social harmony.
