'''Organizations''' is a curated index of the groups Cultopedia is currently tracking.
'''Organizations''' is a curated index of groups that Cultopedia currently tracks.


This list is intentionally narrower than Wikipedia. It focuses on organizations that are themselves central to the study of cults, sects, coercive systems, and related abusive structures. It does '''not''' aim to include every adjacent member, affiliate, celebrity connection, or tangential subtopic.
Cultopedia imports Wikipedia entries of organizations which, at least by some, have been indicated to be a cult or a sect. This page is intentionally selective and is meant to give a quick overview of the organizations currently included in the project.


This page is part of Cultopedia's curation layer. Over time, monthly rebuilds can refresh the underlying Wikipedia-based content while keeping this scoped list stable and intentional.
