Cultopedia aims to provide the world's most up-to-date and comprehensive resource on cults, sects, and other systematically abusive organizations.

The site is built on a Wikipedia-derived knowledge base, then narrowed and extended with Cultopedia's own editorial layer. In time, Cultopedia will also serve research and the latest news associated with these organizations, and give users a way to subscribe to updates on the groups they are interested in.

Current starter set

Editorial direction

  • Focus on organizations that are themselves central to the subject.
  • Focus on founders, leaders, successors, and other key internal figures.
  • Add supporting pages about systematic abuse, survivor protection, and credible counter-initiatives without trying to mirror all of Wikipedia.

Project status

This is an MVP build. The current goal is a small, high-signal set of organizations and leaders that looks good and works well, while laying the groundwork for broader discovery, monthly refresh workflows, research coverage, news tracking, and user subscriptions.
