Overheard (The Atlantic, 8-6-17)

Often cults are seen as aberrations, or a psychological phenomenon. Psychologists would see cult leaders as having delusions of grandeur. But I see them as something different — as baby religions. I think people are unaware how many of them there are, how constant they are.
