Holes
These desperate guys, most likely, are still praying in their holes somewhere in Siberia. Quite absurd, isn't it? And no. Unfortunately, they do not think that Jesus lives somewhere in the hole. Everything is much deeper.

Dyrniki is the oldest sect of Old Believers who at one time renounced the main church. They believe that priests are krinzh, and holes are crash. Huh, I barely learned these newfangled words from the Internet. In short, these guys have nothing but faith. They despise icons and always pray only to the east and in the fresh air. There is just a small problem. It's cold in Siberia in winter, so you can't pray much outside. Therefore, they made holes in their houses, through which they perform their religious rituals in the cold.

Shakers
Another creep Russian sect, which was formed 300 years ago on the territory of the Caucasus. The founder of the sect, the peasant Lukyan Petrovich Sokolov, had a very colorful imagination, so he decided to interpret the Bible in his own way. For example, he invented the rite of the resurrection of the virgins. Its essence was that the girl pretended to be dead, after which one of those present blew and sniffed at her, kissed her, after which the girl “came to life”. And, in fact, why are they shaking. The point is in the ritual "exciting the spirit", during which the sectarians jumped and galloped, waiting for the condescension of the holy spirit. There were the same shakers in the USA, and they also thought that one can understand God only through exhausting dancing.

Cargo
Now we are going to visit the Natives in Papua New Guinea. During the Second World War, cargo planes began to actively fly over those places and from time to time a cargo with supplies began to fall into the hands of the natives. Clothing, various goods and modern food seemed to the natives to be something divine and they believed that airplanes are kind spirits that drop their blessings. In general, the cargo cult is a rather generalized name, and similar sects were formed in underdeveloped peoples around the world. For example, during the Vietnam War, part of the Hmong people believed in the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ, who would come dressed in camouflage at the wheel of a military jeep to take them to the promised land. And some Amazonian Indians carved models of audio cassette players from wood, with which they talked to spirits.

God cannibal
In Canada, there is still an ancient tribe of Indians who believe in the bloodthirsty god Baksbakualankswe. In ancient times, they performed many religious rites, the essence of which was cannibalism. Well at least now they bite each other as much as possible.
