it's funny how some belief systems are so obviously just cults that got popular but since they have millions of followers you have to pretend they're something more than that and be like "yes i have respect for your beliefs"

A comic I drew about leaving the Mormon church.
Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US

Spidey dropping random facts that ironically makes the bats conclude that there was a cult related trauma involved like:
------
Peter: Actually, my body can move without me.
Jason: ...Excuse me?
Peter: Yeah. My soul doesn't need to be in my body for it to keep moving.
Tim: Okay, no. Nuh uh. What does that sentence mean???
Peter: Which part?
Jason: THE PART WHERE YOU APPARENTLY DIE AND KEEP WALKING AROUND???
Peter: Oh my God, dramatic much? I don't die. I just got shoved out of my body—
Dick: What?
Peter: —but the other kept it running.
Silence.
Jason: The... other?
Tim: There is another... guy?
Peter: Well, actually, it might be a female? But no, more like... a presence.
Jason: There is a PRESENCE inside you.
Peter: Yeah! The Spider!
Bruce slowly lowers the newspaper he has absolutely not been listening behind.
Bruce: The Spider.
Peter: Mhm. I mean, there’s a reason I went with Spider-Man, you know? Unlike some people who are just straight-up furries. *side-eyes Bruce*
Steph makes a strangled choking noise trying not to laugh.
Jason: Peter. Define “The Spider.”
Peter: You know. The instinct. My conscious subconscious. The thing that pilots my body when I’m not home.
Dick: When you are not— *deep breath* Peter, has this “Spider” ever controlled your body without permission?
Peter: No? Technically, it only comes out when I can’t give permission? *laughs*
Everyone stares at him.
Peter: Okay, wow. Tough crowd. *checks his phone* Oh crap, gotta go.
Jason: Nope. You can’t just waltz out of this conversation.
Peter: Jeez. Why is this such a big deal?? You literally came back from the dead. *points to Dick* He has a prophecy about him. *points to Tim* And that one is missing a spleen!
Bruce, Dick, Jason, and Steph: *turn to Tim simultaneously* You are missing a spleen?????
Tim: Uhhhh, hey! I told you that in confidence! He is getting away! PETER!

Inspired by Peter and Jason fucking with the Batfam by telling them Peter was in a cult in the fic Existential Crisis Mode.
The thing about Peter, tho, is that he is so much more convincing when he is not even trying lololol

Red flag behaviors to watch out for in witchcraft and pagan communities
Someone tries to dictate your beliefs and/or practice based on their personal experiences (aka UPG, or unverified personal gnosis).
They claim the gods will punish you if you don't go along with them.
They appeal to conspiracy theories to justify their beliefs. (See also Is the spiritual person a conspiracy theorist? A list of red flags.)
They make big, dramatic predictions (like claiming aliens will arrive on a certain date, or that the ancient gods will return and overthrow the government soon).
They claim to have a big, important role in the grand cosmic drama (like claiming they're the Archangel Michael and they're going to fight Satan, which will lead to the fall of the government).
They are extremely opposed to skepticism, critical thinking, and/or academia. Not merely critical where it's actually appropriate, but treating it like it's all pure evil.
They encourage you to cut off people who don't believe or criticize what they teach.
They are absolutely certain they can use mystical means (like astrology or tarot) to determine whether someone is a good or bad person.
They are absolutely certain they can just sense whether someone is good or bad.
They are absolutely certain they can use mystical means to find out what another person is thinking or doing.
They claim you were connected to them in a past life.
They pressure you into uncomfortable or dangerous practices.
