Have you ever had an experience with a cult?
The closest I ever got was the one time I went to a church as a teenager. They locked the doors as soon as everyone got in. All they did was give a boring and ludicrous sermon about rock music being evil. I zipped up my hoodie over my band t-shirt, allowed a girl to hold my hand and pray for me, and then I never went back. Later on, I heard they instructed their members not to associate with anyone outside the church.

And today's highly successful mega churches are completely based on rock concert theatrics. The large auditorium, the big screens behind the performers (televangelists), the lasers, the clapping, the shouting, the singing. It's the seventies all over again.
Pete Townshend got it wrong when he identified rock and roll as the new religion. Religion is the new rock and roll.
