In this episode we will look into the fabled “Cargo Cults” of the pacific, indigenous tribes that were overwhelmed by the American technology. So much that they began to worship the American Servicemen as gods.
We’re also going to explore religions vs. cults.
What makes a group a cult? What kind of leadership is needed? What kind of harm needs to be done. We will try to understand the subtle differences between a religion and a cult.
