Not sure why, but I have recently noticed a few diverse articles about people who are converting to fundamental religions or cults. This got me thinking about why? Believe me I don’t have the answers BUT I have my own views and I’m thinking that this could be happening [if it is in fact happening] because of the chaos in the world at present. People may be choosing these groups, with their stringent rules to find a sense of control and predictability? The question that I have is what will the consequence be if this kind of thing becomes a silent epidemic? Intolerance, hate, judgment? OR peace, calm and predictability? Will it be good or bad for the world? Is Marketing encouraging [through branding] a cult or community behaviour?
I personally don’t think that becoming more inward focused is a good thing….Looking and reaching out, teaching tolerance and understanding, a sense of [integrated] community and not judging is surely one of the few peaceful options available? It may ironically sound like I am judging and to be fair, I do believe that the structure that some of these religions and cults provide works for some, BUT many wars have and are fought over religion, so I worry about the future of the world if someone actually proves this trend to be right 
.
I just read this again, and I have lots of questions! I also sound just like a hippy [wasn't that a cult]?! HA! Interesting thought anyway!
