I love the Wikivoyage community, but it seems too hostile towards new religious movements, like the True Buddha School for example, for its own good.
As a citizen religiologist, I don't take seriously the camp against "cults/sects" (used as a term of abuse against unpopular religious movements), because for one thing, inter alia, the term "criminal religious movement" is a more accurate and useful category than the category "cults/sects" could ever be. Couldn't we agree, that ostracizing persons of certain religious communities (henotheistic or otherwise) and having the reflexive urge to denigrate such people is not generally a sign of good character? Furthermore, what would you rather do and where would you rather be, whether online or offline?
For at least me, one idea regarding new religious movements is a library featuring books of Chinese and other new religious movements and books by religiologists (or scholars of religion).

- Anything to do with the Taijimen Qigong Academy (太極門氣功養生學會 in Chinese)
- Anything to do with Falun Gong
