These are the most dangerous cult leaders!

Cults are a point of morbid fascination for us humans, and this intense curiosity mostly stems from the dramatic and often tragic impacts of these organizations on individuals and societies.

But cults are not something that just appeared overnight. All of them have a charismatic person behind them. Those who created the radicalized religious beliefs most cults are based on are known today as cult leaders.

This leader is one of the core components of a cult, and the immense power these self-proclaimed deity-like figures had over people is something that still makes us wonder about our very own human nature.

What made them so powerful? Why were people blindly following them? Why did most of them carry out strange or even heinous acts that are hard to describe in words?

These questions are the main subject of many documentaries and true crime series even today, and this is why we are going to talk about some of the most terrifying cult leaders in history.

    1. If you’re talking in the past
      20 years, yes he needs to be on the list. However if you’re talking about 2,000 years of human history, there are worse people that have been responsible for Mass death and suicide.

    2. I’d say that the Child Genital Mutilation cult that you’re a part of deserves first place on this list.

    3. You will notice its always left leaning liberals that fall for the cults. Trump may be a ditz but I doubt he could manage a cult like following.

    4. Definitely a cult leader. I can’t see how so many people are still falling for his S______T. He will throw them under the bus, in the deep sea, firery furnance, over the cliff, into a volcano just to save his own soul. Don’t trust him any farther than I can throw him. He need to get somewhere and sit down. He called another politician “Lying Ted Cruz “, put people lives in danger and denies everything on January 6, and they still support him. But his day is coming. God sees everything and hears.

    5. you got that right, he is the worst kind of cult leader now he owns America, and he can give us to Russia at any moment, no wonder why they love the color red so much

    6. Ms. Brown I totally agree with your statement. DJT and all associates should have been listed. He brings the greatest new danger to us all. IMHO.

    7. so says the lady who gets her news from MSNBC and CNN, two “news channels” that has done nothing but tells lies for the last 8 years
      and she thinks she is informed.

    8. When some people leave their beliefs in religion and Jesus/God behind they eventually need to find a new leader and belief system and that opens the door to cults, notorious groups, and their leaders.

    9. There is no Trump cult, but Americans who feel this country had been drained of its common sense and is headed in the wrong direction.

    10. Yes, watch YouTube video, “TRUMP’S 40-YEAR ENTANGLEMENT WITH FBI AND ORGANIZED CRIME.” And read the book, THE MAFIA, CIA & GEORGE BUSH, by Pete Brewton.

  1. “… a few altercations with California congressman Leo Ryan …”

    Altercations? His henchman murdered Mr. Ryan and his staff when the came to Guyana to investigate. Quite a detail to omit!

  2. Jones WAS NOT a casualty of the massacre. It escaped to Russia with over four million dollars in diamonds that belonged to the people and at the time of al the killings that was well known. In addition, all the bodies of the cult were erturned to the U.S. at taxpayer expense (over five milion dollars) and then buried here ’cause Guyana would not bear the cost of the burials.

  3. The worst living cult leader has to be Donald Trump.
    To be able to influence so many people and with so many lies…to be a convicted criminal and yet stand to be a leader of the free world..has to see anyone coming close to him.

  4. Stop sending, take me off of yr list. This is the last of yr emails I’ll open because they’re just mainly advertising.

  5. You need to add Donald Trump. He has millions of cults followers and many are very violent. Government officials are afraid of him.

  6. Watch YouTube Video, “YRUMP’S 40-YEAR ENTANGLEMENT WITH FBI AND ORGANIZED CRIME.” Then read the book, THE MAFIA, CIA & GEORGE BUSH, by honorable Pete Brewton. Teflon Don is a con pathological zombie cult leader as is FauxNews propaganda leaders.
