I mean, it's pretty different if what the weird cult claims could be true, i.e. gods and evil demons do exist in general. In the real world, you pretty much know that's it's all fake, the only remaining question is whether the person you're talking to believes it or is in on the grift (it's often kind of both, but I still think that the pure grifters have a different quality than the more standard religious/cult leaders who truly believe (most of) their self-serving drivel).
