​​​@@tomleach1428religion and religious beliefs are Indigenous and endemic to humans as a species and at all levels of cultural development. Cults, in the sense we're talking about here, are not automatically the same as religion in general, and they tick different boxes. And they don't actually need to be Deist at all. Two of the most infamous and fatal cults of modern times were not. The further you get into reading about the beliefs of Heaven's Gate, the more clear it becomes that they were not Christian or Deist in any way most people would recognize. Their beliefs sound more like a scifi fantasy novel that incorporates a little Biblical imagery. They believed both "God" and "demons" were highly evolved aliens, and that "Heaven" meant being taken away in a UFO to another physical place. And of course, Jim Jones initially drew people into his "People's Temple" by using Christian language, And the best parts of the far political Left of his day. But he himself was a totally secular Atheist from the start, and someone who mainly used the politics of the farther and farther Left as a means to eventually achieve a Stalin-like level of absolute control in a highly isolated place. He very gradually transitioned the Temple into an Atheist belief system and later a Totalitarian entity, with no God at all except himself as a total king. Even completely secular predatory "marketing" entities like Amway, or far worse NXVIM, can become cults.

@23:35 I did the exact same motion when she said her arresting officer adopted her. This person they interviewed is proof people can change, I'm glad she shared her story, thank you Diane.

Hearing her say about being fostered literally gave me chills. What an amazing turn around for her ❤

I can't even listen to this... for a start, pick hosts who aren't colossal embarrassments. Self-absorbed and so aloof they have no idea what they are talking about.

Fun fact: Manson grew up in my home state of West Virginia, specifically McMechan, 2 to 5 miles north of Moundsville. His mom Kathleen Maddox actually served time in the women's facility at the West Virginia Penitentiary. Charlie Manson wanted to come to the penitentiary and wrote to the warden. The warden responded with four words: "When Hell freezes over." His letter is actually on display at the museum at the West Virginia Penitentiary

Terry Melcher, only child of screen legend Doris Day, was the music producer that Manson had a beef with. He’d been living with actress Candice Bergen in the house. I think that they had broken up & both moved out. Roman Polanski was out of the country, filming a movie. Sharon was too far along in her pregnancy to fly out & join him.

I recently heard about that one and it’s so fascinating to me because the suicide was consensual and people were completely free to not take part, but at the same time being a cult you’re still brainwashed and the founder deliberately chose the leader because he had mental disabilities and could be used.

I couldnt sleep. So, I tried looking up Rainbow from The Manson Family. I ended up here.❤❤❤

The fDLS cult (Warren Jeff's cult) would be a good episode.

It's hard to take things seriously when they talk about astrology which is pseudo science.

Smallll correction...Leno LaBianca was stabbed appropriately 40 times, and Rosemarie was stabbed approximately 25 times. Otherwise fabulous job!!! Newbie here!!

Overall it's an interesting idea with good production quality, but the ultimate crux is just that it's too shallow. During the NXIVM video, all I could think was "How could you not have covered any of this?" while not learning anything new compared to a video that's was a few minutes longer but done by a single person. If anything, I feel a sense of "style over substance" with this series. Good luck with the next season.
