BITE = Behavior Information Thought Emotional Control

All cults use that but all religions do too to a certain degree.

No sane religion will allow members that can think for themselves to do an independent research and decide if they want to join or not. That would remove the easiest prey, children.

Best. Thing. Ever.

After being raised in a cult, this describes perfectly the members in such organizations. A cult is being rational in undermining the reasoning abilities of the members and indoctrinating them to use fake reasoning. And redefining words such as logic, reasoning, truth.
