When did you realize this "faith" was a cult/complete scam?

For me it was when I was 19/20 and went to Portugal for the diamond jubilee celebration. Everything about it seemed so un-Islamic and the way people were freaking out over the AK and his family really freaked me out. And the very obvious display of wealth. I also never really believed in Aga’s “divine power” but grew up thinking he was still a decent person (lol).

Also just reading about cults/cult behavior in my free time helped me connect the dots.
