And from my research on Jones, I couldn't find any religious affiliation for him accept that he saw himself as a communist, which has been the antithesis of any religion; "Jones purported to establish Jonestown as a benevolent model communist community stating, "I believe we're the purest communists there are." In that regard, like the restrictive emigration policies of the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea and other communist states, Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown.

Hmm hard to find any Christianity there when he believed in Translation wherein he and his followers would all die together and move to another planet and live blissfully. Possible a pagan belief of some sort.
