Cult leader, Sun Myung Moon, achieved a Guinness World Record when he married 6,516 strangers at once in 1988. Name that cult.
Answer The Moonies
Sun Myung Moon was the founder of the Unification Church in the '60s and '70s, with his followers becoming known as "the Moonies". Blending Confucianism, shamanism, anti-communism, and Christianity, Moon was a self-proclaimed prophet who was "finishing Jesus' mission on Earth" by presiding over mass weddings between strangers that would "purify" families with the end goal being world peace. Guess he wasn't successful.
