Many New Age, Pagan, Eastern, and other new religious movements are known for their openness to other traditions, democratic structure, and fiercely noncommercial values. These are in direct opposition to cultic values. The cultic structure can be created around any belief system or human activity whatsoever. There are vitamin cults and multilevel marketing cults. Some critics believe that organizations within Amway , for instance, are the largest cultic groups in America.
Some cults are hybrids.
The Moonies, for instance, mix Christian and Eastern influences. There is no true average. Cultic relationships can exist in groups as small as two or as large as hundreds of thousands, if not millions. To the individual who meets up with either, it doesn't matter. Small cults tend to be more physically and emotionally abusive, largely because their size ensures that they don't appear on the media's radar screen.
