The first part of this paper delves into the elements of ancient cultic construct, which are mainly mythology and the interpretation of God, and which justify the philosophical and psychological basis of contemporary group culture prior to its transition from ancient cults. In the construction of ancient cults, however deemed fictional, mythology has played a significant role in bringing group ideology to life.
