We don’t, that’s what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America
I also don’t want to argue. So feel free to say what you like about this, but I won’t respond. I’ll just drop some thoughts for consideration.
Cults don’t have to be religious, and even then there’s a difference
Harm doesn’t just come from being militant or political
The mechanisms of disbanding suck as much as the criminal justice system and states in general do
This isn’t just about the US
Jehovas Witnesses, Moonies, Scientology and so many more are still ongoing. Cult mechanism are literally some of closest stuff to brainwashing there is. They are malign. The followers are victims, and collectively this absolutely should be addressed.
Also, I am not offering any kind of solution here, I.e. to just go after the cults and disband them. As others have said it’s nuanced.

Sorry, hard disagree.
