I assume they get followers same as Pat Robertson or Mother Teresa. They say what people want to hear, and do people think should be done. Cult leaders are most apt to be successful during times of rapid change. When humans go through periods of rapid change they experience more doubt and anxiety, so someone who is confident and assures them they will okay, is very attractive.
I should add the Delhi Lama and the folks from India lecturing on happiness and health such as Deepak Chopra, because our great leaders are not limited to Christian ones. Humans look for good leaders, and what we might examine is how they decide who is a good leader?
