Hare Krishna

Hara Krishna is one of the most dangerous cults that are provided with their chanting rituals, like “the energy of God.” These people may suffer for their religious practices as they prefer to live as Spartans with having a little communication with the world, sleep not much and eat less. The adepts of Hare Krishna can be involved in various criminal activities, like kidnapping and drug dealing. The most noticeable followers of this dangerous cult are Russel Brand, Beatles, and Steve Jobs.

The Unification Church

This dangerous cult provided its place in this list for the worshiping of the Moon. That`s the reason they can also be called Moonies. Therefore, Monies believe that Moon is supreme divine that controls everything on our Planet. The leader of the cult is Sun Myung Moon that believes that he is a messiah of the Moon Divine. Sun Myung Moon is an unwelcome guest for many civilized countries across the world. He is not allowed to visit some countries due to its deeds. The cult provides to the people the knowledge that real Heaven exists not only in an afterlife, but it can also be created on the Earth. His work as Messiah provided him millions of dollars in Korea.

In his family, he provided new names for his adepts. He even created a special temple nearby to Hollywood where he could host sexual orgies, sacrifices, and other nasty things.

They were the harbingers of the mass suicides across the USA. They even provided instructional videos on how to commit suicide.

Branch Davidians

The Branch Davidians earn the silver medal in our top list of the most dangerous cult. The Leader of the Davidians, David Koresh preached his followers that the main enemy of the God was the Government of the USA. He launched his temple activity in Waco, Texas. He trained his believers, provided them guns and taught to be ready for fighting against the USA. In 1994, ATF forces reached his compound in Waco and witnessed crimes connected to sexual abuse, children pornography, drugs and weapons. More than one hundred members died in fighting against ATF. The tragedy is still the main question in the USA as it could be possible to illuminate violence.

The People`s Temple


And the gold medal in our top most dangerous cults
in the world might be granted to The People`s
Temple. Their leader, Jim Jones, started to provide his
excellent ideas of brainwashing and zealots in the sky
from the very young age. He was also famous for
mind controlling people. He thought that The Bible
was a ridiculous book that has ever been written.
He started to provide his doctrine and visions of
humanity in the world. His followers grew in number,
and his sick ideas also grew in numbers. He also used
ideas of having sex with children, drugs, alcohol and
even slavery. Nevertheless, he also preached the ideas
of mass suicides to have access to the gates of the
God. Therefore, it was believed the most dangerous
cult in the world.

Jim Jones was an Atheist who Used Religion to enforce A Marxist Agenda. You need to first research these people before you copy and paste.

I'm here to know the capital of Pakistan but op, I don't think that the International Society for Krishna consciousness also known as Hare Krishna should be on your list.

Hinduism and Hare Krishna happens to be the most peaceful religion on earth
