8 of history's evilest cults:
1. The People's Temple: Started by ordained minister Jim Jones in Indiana in 1954, the Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ had a few thousand members at its peak but ended with the largest loss of American civilian life until 9/11. Jones founded a church that he claimed promoted socialism and equality, with religious elements of Christianity.
Initially, he was little more than a charismatic hustler, going as far as to fake faith healings by having audience plants pull chicken livers out of congregants’ mouths), but as the years progressed, he demanded more and more of followers. In the early 1970s, Jones moved his group to California and set them up in a commune-like settlement in Redwood Valley.
Jones eventually came to believe that nuclear war was imminent and moved his followers again to the South American country of Guyana, which he thought would be outside the potential danger zone, but conditions there were extremely poor.
The group lived at a settlement there, dubbed Jonestown, for several years as the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, but after former members started speaking out against the church, San Francisco Congressman Leo Ryan decided to travel to Jonestown to investigate claims of abuse. Temple security guards opened fire on Ryan’s group.
Upon hearing that this was happening, Jones commanded his followers to drink poison, many forced at gunpoint. In all, over 900 people, one-third of them children under age 17, died on Nov. 18, 1978.
