Firstly the cult is not nearly as powerful as you think. It's not nearly as invasive as believed. Most of those involved are just manipulated minions with no real knowledge of anything.

Think Scientology meets 18th Century mysticism, it's a lot of kooky BS and most of them are on the perifery or just manipulated inside of institutions.

You cut that cancer out - yes there would be a period of healing and frankly it does look pretty bad and how do we trust the US Military and Trump and co. are not themselves an offshoot of the same thing - that is culling some of the ranks only to carry on as before - or even worse !

As and when it all comes out - there would be a huge renaissance around the world - but that can quickly slip back into squabbling and schism as we do not really have the awakened consciousness to deal with our selves very well.

So yes- I see your point, but it's too easy to lose hope and believe that these evil clowns in a cult group cannot be thrown aside. At least then we have a chance to pick up the pieces.

Their secret is out - they are exposed, they do not have magical powers or any real knowledge of anything, it's just a sick fanatical social control mechanism. A leech on society.

With that removed who knows what humanity might accomplish.

Once the tumor is gone - you eat a healthy diet and you move forwards you can accomplish great things !
