I saw what they did with the “One of Us” documentary, just focusing on the negative minority of a group and making it a generalization that hurt innocent people and I won’t ever judge a whole group or blindly believe all claims based on a biased “documentary” ever again.

That was certainly a cult!

The stated purpose of the Fellowship is to provide a fellowship forum for decision makers to share in Bible studies, prayer meetings, worship experiences, and to experience spiritual affirmation and support.

The Fellowship's known participants include ranking United States government officials, corporate executives, heads of religious and humanitarian aid organizations, and ambassadors and high-ranking politicians from across the world. Many United States Senators and Congressmen have publicly acknowledged working with the Fellowship or are documented as having worked together to pass or influence legislation.

Former Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, also a former member of the Senate Prayer Group, has described Fellowship members' method of operation: "Typically, one person grows desirous of pursuing an action"—a piece of legislation, a diplomatic strategy—"and the others pull in behind." Brownback has often joined with fellow Family members in pursuing legislation. For example, in 1999 he joined together with fellow Family members, Senators Strom Thurmond and Don Nickles to demand a criminal investigation of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and in 2005 Brownback joined with Fellowship member Sen. Tom Coburn to promote the Houses of Worship Act.

The "Fellowship" is not a cult. It is a partnership of Evangelical leaders who seek to shape American culture, politics and business. The goal is a "Christian" led nation, strick enforcement of gender roles in private and public life, and a belief that Jesus' true mission was to lead the "powerful" and "chosen" which they define as Christian males of wealth, corporate leaders or politicians.

Their teachings and activities are well documented, and many current and past members of Congress and the WH have declared affiliation with the group.

Yes
This is what makes it so interesting, IMO.

I wouldn’t want that to happen though- we don’t need Evangelicals in DC enforcing their rules on everyone. Separation of church and state is essential.
