I think I'm not looking for religious thinkers at all because I used to be a religious person, and have read a lot of religious books. I'm well aware of a lot of religious arguments and the way religious people think; I used to think in the same way.
That being said, I was very specifically a Christian. So I'm probably more open to reading things from Hindu, Buddist, Muslim, Jewish etc. thinkers than to things from Christian thinkers, simply because it's a slightly different way of seeing the world.
Cults are super interesting in their ridiculousness. It's akin to conspiracy theorists. But then again, all religions are sorta conspiracies - it's mostly about which ones are more widely-accepted in society.
