WARNING: Cults often take advantage of the poor and homeless, and here's what to look for: They have a long and/or powerful liturgy (church service). They claim to be either Christian or Islamic. They use principles of religion and socialization (brainwashing) to intimidate and indoctrinate. They tell you what to believe. They claim that only by belonging to their particular religion, Christianity or Islam, can you be saved or go to heaven. Their leaders usually do not eat the food they serve, which is blessed to brainwash people. They want to take you to their home, office, or headquarters, or you might already be there. That sounds good if you have noplace to live. They want to help you, and want you to obey them. They tell you what the word of God is and what it means, rather than having you decide that for yourself. If they called themselves the "Church of Satan", nobody would join them. But if they secretly worship Satan, yet call themselves the "Good Gospel Church of Jesus", they can easily find victims that don't know any better. There is no law against cults. Religious Freedom even allows the worship of Satan! So be careful. Getting de-programmed takes years.
