This rebellion involved a self-proclaimed prophet, a cult, and the deaths of 20 million people.

When Hong Xiuquan came on the scene during the Qing Dynasty, he drew followers pretty quickly. Claiming to see visions, he founded a Christian cult called the "God Worshipping Society" – a cult that became violent and rose into all-out civil war. The Taiping Rebellion took 20 million lives before Hong was found poisoned.
