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. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

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

  3. Sorry, honey, as your leader once stated, “elections have consequences,” so grow up, accept it, and quit the usual female whining.

  4. another example of this is the KOJC (Kingdom Of Jesus Christ) headed by Apollo Quiboloy who claimed as the Appointed Son of God. He is wanted by the FBI and is now detained at Pasig City jail in the Philippines.
    His alleged crimes are human trafficking, sexual abuse, etc. and is running for senator. This Quiboloy is a close friend of the former president Duterte whose daughter Sara the current VP was impeached by the lower house and to be tried by the Senate.
    Cult leaders uses money, political connections to project power and abuse unsuspecting members.
