2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Cults of personality

The Federation of Damanhur is an Italian religious organisation founded in 1975. According to an impeccable source their own website, they have been recognised by the United Nations as "a model for a sustainable future".[1] They keep to themselves most of the time, dedicating their lives to "ritual tradition, social realization, experimentation and dynamics, and individual inner refinement", according to another impeccable source Wikipedia.[2] Damanhurians also dedicate themselves to other matters, which have attracted various levels of attention: cultish behaviour;[3] the building of "the eighth wonder of the world" (just a temple apparently decorated by Jeff Koons[4]);[5] and naked time travel involving German pop singers.[6] The Federation now has about a thousand members in its 500-hectare[7] property.
