This article distinguishes between a secular anti-cult movement and a religious counter-cult movement, and explores the changes within the counter-cult movement between the tragedies of Jonestown (1978) and Waco (1993). While at the time of Jonestown the anti-cult and the counter-cult movements could have been easily confused, religious counter-cult activists have increasingly noticed that their alliance with the secular anti-cultists could only be uneasy and superficial. Counter-cultists, in fact, ...

This study examines the recent rash of official reports done by governmental agencies in Western Europe to guide policy development in those societies. Particular attention is given to reports in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, and Italy, and to the changes in such reports that have occurred, perhaps because of the influence of scholarly critiques offered for some of the earlier reports. The reports are divided into “Type I” and “Type II” reports, with the former being thorough‐going ...

On October 4th and 5th, 1994, fifty-three people were found dead in Switzerland and in Canada. Their bodies—some showing signs of violence suffered before the fires—were found in the incinerated centres of a neo-Templar movement called originally International Order of Chivalry Solar Tradition or, for short, Solar Tradition, and after 1990-91 Order of the Solar Temple. The movement is part of one of several currents which as a whole compose the universe of the contemporary occult-esoteric movements, ...

Abstract Religious minorities in Western Europe today are often perceived as threatening. After Solar Temple suicides and homicides, parliamentary and other official commissions investigated the dangers of 'cults' or 'sects'. The article reviews reports published between 1996–1999 and argues that they may be classified into two categories. 'Type I' reports (more prevalent throughout French‐speaking Europe) rely on anti‐cult models and stereotypes, and may perpetuate moral panics by seeing all unfamiliar ...

The category of "new religions" is somewhat controversial, but fringe minorities remain an interesting starting point in order to assess the future of religion. Contrary to what many expected in the 1970s, interest in religion in general has not declined in the Western world, organized religion has not disappeared, and we have not witnessed an explosion of "cults". Learning from these past sociological prophecies that failed, we may speculate on the future in more realistic terms. New religious movements ...

While the “cult wars” of the 1970s-1980s largely ended in the USA with the Fishman decision (1990), between 1994 and 2000 mass suicides and homicides perpetrated respectively by the Solar Temple, Aum Shinri-kyo, Heaven's Gate and the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God revived anti-cult feelings which eventually led to administrative and legislative action in several European countries. The author criticizes two anti-cult explanations of the incidents, one based on brainwashing and the other ...

James T. Richardson, Massimo Introvigne,
Religious minorities in Europe today are often perceived as a social problem, traditionally thought of as "a condition which is defined by a considerable number of persons as a diversion from some social norm which they cherish" (Fuller & Myers, 1941, p. 22). Recent scholarship suggests that although a social problem's beginnings are subject to empirical verification, the way they develop and are represented, constructed, or negotiated is the result of complicated social processes (Richardson, 1997).
