Four notorious cults in the united states
1. PEOPLES TEMPLE
The "Peoples Temple" was the brainchild of preacher Jim Jones, born in Indiana, USA. Outwardly a Christian, he was, at his core, a passionate Marxist and atheist who used religion to spread his political beliefs. When he founded the new religious group called the "Peoples Temple" in the mid-1950s, Jones gained recognition as a fierce advocate for civil rights and racial integration. He packaged progressive politics in religious terms and once said, "If you were born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, you're born in sin. But if you're born in socialism, you're not born in sin."
