Anyone know where I can get good information about cults? I might need them for my new idea/book.

Also, maybe some info about an Assassin, Knight, Scholoars, monks. You know, the works.

this is why god created google! [well, ok...it's why those two genius kids did!]

Wikipedia's your best bet.

I'd use a combination of the two- or alternatively a library. Libraries have the added advantage of not having their content changed periodically by bored teenagers.

while wikipedia's not a bad place to start, please keep in mind that the content therein is provided by anyone who wants to submit it, so all is not exactly etched in stone, as far as reliabililty goes... whatever you find there should never be taken as gospel and you should always check it against other, more reliable sources, before using it...

that's why i never tell anyone to use wikipedia and always recommend googling... the 'easy' way in re doing research is generally not the best route to take...

I would look up different religions and what cults are based on them like Gnosticism Satanism.
