I have a pretty clear vision of such a cult, its ideology, activities and structure, and would like to know if anyone here is interested in such a thing.

Sure. I'm interested in all end-of-the-world cults. The more virulent their memes the better.

For example, from the point of view of the "Cult of Omega", the extinction of humanity is an all but inevitable and desirable outcome, as we march ineluctably toward the Singularity.

A cult with no respect for history? Those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
