Scientology is a cult because it separates families and financially exploits its members.

“when people ask me is Scientology a destructive cult I don't even have to get into all the academic discussions of what's a religion and what's a cult and what's the difference I go as long as they destroy families like that they're occult”

The Institute in Basic Life Principles fits the criteria of a religious cult despite the organization's own classification.

“they don't class they're not a cult you know by what they say you know it's just a religious sect but you'll see pretty quickly that oh it's a cult baby it definitely fits all the criteria”

He argues that religious cults can manipulate people into accepting violent and irrational behavior as the will of God.

“it's weird when people are like religious and it's like I say, "No, no, no. God would want you to kill this." Like, "Oh, no. I don't like that God."”

The host views the religious group as a dangerous and brainwashed cult that intentionally withheld insulin from a child, resulting in a preventable death.

“These people are brainwashed and how they become so susceptible.”
