Abstract
The Role of Religious Cults: Is Satan Dead?
The disintegration of the old religious institutions during the last third of the 20th century has not produced a society that is content to live an existence without gods. Cults, sects & religious communities have sprung up to fill the void. “What happened in Jonestown, Guyana, is a ghoulish cautionary tale for all these different people who, in these differing ways, are seeking God in a secular world.” (page 4) (NBB)
