If we forget all the bad things cults do for the moment..
Rationally, the MOST SUCCESSFUL cult members are those who don't believe in their doctrine. Thus, they are free to make objective choices in the scope of their surrounding for selfish improvement.
Given that.. It is not Idealist bible bangers who should join churches/cults, rather it's the Heathen NON-believers that potentially have the most to gain.
For example, Many Churches and Cults are wildly successful at cash laundering AND are not Subject to taxation..
Certainly , these actions are not those perpetrated by a person who reads the Bible, rather they are actions by the more intelligent manipulator who exploits this small loophole in our cultural economy, in-god-we-trust.

people who start cults are the only people benefiting. with a small handful of their trusted friends.
Mormons wanna **** and control lots of woman
Christian churches want money and possibly children?
all cults all sole benefactors relaying on faith to help you

For those wondering my big gripe with Christianity,
My grandmother is a "good Christian woman". Church every Weds/Sunday, and donates to the church. However she also receives a minimum of 5 letters from the church a month asking for donations. She is a 87 year old widow. Most of these letters have a wonderful greeting such as "your husband was such a blessed member of our church, we will always pray for him" these letters contain blank checks to be made out to the church. It's completely predatory towards older people, whom feel they have to "do the right thing" to secure there place in heaven for not only them but there family.

It's completely predatory towards older people,
My wife works for an important valid non-profit (The Arthritis Foundation) and asked her father to join and give to them.
He is almost 82 and his mind does not work too well any more. He said "I used to give little bits to lots of different organizations but now it ALL goes .... "
