Phycology behind why people follow cults?

Want to know more about this topic watch this video from TED.

















Cults : ‘a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.’- From Google.First allow me to make a point, I am fan of superheroes Marvel, DC any some others. I can consider my self a superhero fan from my childhood, if you don’t like the superheroes and even don’t know what that means I highly suggest you to stop reading.Now we all love superheroes but the question isThere is a more obvious answer(like tony saved in Avengers : End game).But wait, it raise another questionAnd the answer is sadly,I mean it is all same after all both heroes and superheroes both save the world.because ofA child grown up by their parents saying that he/she is special, A company need a person with unique and rare talent, A society give respect if you can do something remarkable that other can’t. Main word is become ‘unique’.Every one in the room wants to Be unique, Feel unique and Be treated like unique. That’s why we search stuffs that are different from all others. Because subconsciously we believe that being unique make you more money, fame and respect.Now back to main question(because they want divinity and they are close to God, or they felt gratitude for what God did for them).Like I said everyone wants to feel unique. “so people follow cults, new pathways in religion and stupid rituals with out asking why because they feel the uniqueness, that they have something divine, more meaningful that other have missed.”When people have the Holly book (Gita, Quran, bible etc.) they feel they have more knowledge than others. This make them feel special about that religious path, they feel unique, chosen or special.I often find my religion friend saying “we are special because we have Holly Bhagavat gita (he is Hindu by the way), God chosen us Bla…. Bla….)”The point is they want to feel that they are above other this leads to ego, and when they find competition with other cults they feel jealous, and this go on to finally make you a person with બાદ nature. And this is very bad because the religious path you choose to find calmness and kindness in your life leads you to a egoistic evil person (I never thought religion can be that dangerous).Now ask you self before you follow new pathways in your religion and or new rituals it is a divinity saying or you want to feel unique by being disciple?
