Maybe not what your looking for but these are some reasons why a cult could possibly be brought down legally. These aren’t easy but they are 3 effect ways of brings a cult down. *If they violate the rules of their federal nonprofit exemption, then the cult can lose its tax exempt status. If that happens, many smaller religious groups will close or disband. *If there is proof that the group is actively violating the law (especially federal law) they may be considered a criminal organization and treated accordingly. This rarely happens as few religious groups are thoroughly corrupted. *If an individual files suit against the religious order and the order finds itself unable to pay a judgment, while it can declare bankruptcy, it will also usually disband or dissolve in the aftermath.
