I don't think I'm good cult material, but I am kind of a fan of the various state Satanic Temples.
These are effectively educational organizations that teach about freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. You'll see them in the news occasionally around the end of year holiday season.
The way it usually works is this: someone wants to (at their own expense) erect a Christmas creche on town property. Someone else points out that the town can't favor only one religion; they have to make space for any religion that wants a holiday display.
You can guess what's coming next: the Satanic Temple applies to erect a scary satanic statue alongside the creche, menorah, etc. And suddenly the town says "maybe we'll just skip the holiday displays this year."

That's all too deep for me. Thank god I'm an atheist. If there's anything more solidly anti-religion then that would be even better.

You must be from the greater Toronto area... I understand that's an anything-goes kinda place.

@Nitedoc I had a schoolmate who once toyed with the idea of starting his own religion.

@Sidewinder Oh I wouldn't be the first by far. I'm not even considering it. I was thinking more of a quasi-religious cult.

"I wouldn't belong to any cult that would have the likes of me as a member" - is this what you're mulling over?

"satan" gets too much a bad rap, the so called being had maybe 10 deaths or so in the book of Job, while "god" has killed how many millions, if not tens of millions, or more? The flood comes to mind, all because "god" was not happy with the humans "he" "created" If "god" would have been just, "he" would have destroyed the "devil" and changed the hearts and minds of humans.
