Personally speaking, I liked the situation where cults crossed barriers by being 'versions' of one another. The current trend towards 'Narrative Simulationism', where no part of the background may be permitted to be less than pedantically, absolutely, unequivocally, 100% realistic to an accurate model of a credible society and world seems designed to make you forget this is supposed to be a game, not an educational course in constructive anthropology and theology...
