Quite honestly the Baba film seemed to be a film about a cult. The beginning might be used to attract people take whatever money the “followers” have. And just at the end of the film the truth is revealed that money is all that they want. Over the speaker you can hear a man requesting that money be taken from a bank and given to the office.
But really what church or religion can honestly say that in some ways they do not resemble a cult. Every religion does. Most churches or religions promise ultimate salvation and a sense of community to often times desperate and lonely people. In return they expect them to give to the church; usually what the church wants is a portion of the congregations’ annual income if not all of it. The church is lead by one leader, a savior that “saw” the true and honest way, for example the Catholic Church has the Pope, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has Joseph Smith, while Scientology has Tom Cruise, just kidding the real leader is David Miscavige. So each established religion was at one point cult, a deviation from the real savior of the popular religion of the time.
