These Wikipedia Pages Will Fuel Your Cult Obsession

If you've ever paused a film, documentary, or podcast about cults only to go down an hour-long rabbit hole on Google, you're not alone.

The best way to traipse through the mountain of information is obviously by going on Wikipedia. The user-aggregated encyclopaedia pages for cults condense news reports, books, and other headlines into easy-to-digest morsels. But as with any topic, always use your judgement and peep the footnotes to make sure the information is sourced from a legitimate outlet. Again, it's user generated.

Keep reading for the most interesting Wikipedia pages you should definitely lose yourself in this weekend — or whenever your cult fascination bubbles up.
