From this fear, society has learned much about cults, how they get members and what to look out for as far as cult recruiters go. Society as a whole has also learned what can be done to deal with cult activity and the fear that surrounds it. Throughout the last couple of decades more and more stories of illegal cult activity or murders by satanic cults appear on the news nearly each night. This surge of reported cult activity has caused a spark in public interest. There has been a large increase in the fear that surrounds cults over the past couple of years. A cult is “a therapeutic or unconventional religious movement (McBride, 1985,22),” and the more Cults that fall beneath the public eye, the more serious the fear of cults become. Much of this fear has been sparked by major cult related incidents such as mass suicide by the People’s Temple or the murder of Sharon Tate. These incidents, and incidents like them, grab the nation’s attention and create widespread panic.
