There are cults, anti-vaxxers, that Smallville actress recently convicted of some of her actions from being in a weird sex cult. There is Scientology, literally a made-up religion (they're all made up when you get down to it, its just that many have much older textbooks); there are Freemen of The Land; people into voodoo or witchcraft; the crowd that will now tell you that there are more genders than colors in the rainbow and have a scrambled alphabet of terms for themselves. When looking at it this way, one can see why some religions are better options than dyeing your hair with Kool-Aid and proclaiming that you have 11 genders while intentionally being utterly repellent to both of the real genders.

Except that ^. It's not a belief system.
