    The present time period is full of modern mystery cults, and a lot of them claim to be secular too. Just about every “lifestyle coach” crank and self described “guru” is roughly that, and some take it even further into culty grounds, such as “NXIVM” and “LessWrong.”

      Basically, imagine if Andrew Tate was crucified but the then some tax accountant on his way to, idk, Rotterdam, had a vision and started preaching his word, setting up Tatist communities across Europe.
