Анализ религий и сект в играх | На чём основаны игровые секты и какие свойства тоталистских обществ?

Where did cultists come from in video games? Why are religions against games? Which games are based on religions and cults? From an outside perspective, it's always easy to point to a group of people and say, "Yes, they're definitely part of a cult." But in real history, the question of whether a religious movement is a cult often takes on a political dimension. Is a cult possible without the worship of gods and other esoteric practices? What do a religious cult and a totalitarian state have in common? Perhaps video games will help us understand the boundaries between these concepts. Enjoy!
