hmmmm .... I would conclude the opposite if I were to take the same sources as you did.
Was there no difference between the cult practiced by Abel and Cain?
Did Cain not kill his brother for cult reasons? Is there any ....eh....irony in that story?
And were there not a select number (8) of people who came through the flood with their own cult? What was the first thing that these people did? Kill life?
Does the current cult, you are referring to, require sacrifice and killing?
Does this obsession with killing, sacrifice and obedience come from the oral-law? Who are guardians of the oral-law? Whom are you not allowed to criticize? Elites?
"a choice or select body, the best part," 1823, from French élite "selection, choice," from Old French eslite (12c.), fem. past participle of elire, elisre "pick out, choose," from Latin eligere "choose" (see election). Borrowed in Middle English as "chosen person" (late 14c.), especially a bishop-elect, but it died out mid-15c. The word was re-introduced by Byron's "Don Juan." As an adjective by 1852. As a typeface, recorded by 1920.
Indeed, these elites are.
Yet, what does the word mean? Chosen-people?

Pagan or not. Does that matter in the final outcome?
In order to keep the discussion on point ..... Is Jeffrey Epstein a member of the chosen-people?
interesting:

Who does the choosing?
"bloodlines"
Another perspective: knowing how they like to reverse everything, "elite" might be an inside joke for "dregs."
Jusqua porter la besace = beggar = Geus.
That used to be a designation for the Dutch rebels who dared to defy the Spanish Empire. It was embraced by the rebels as a badge of honor.
So, indeed, elite indeed may very well mean quite the opposite: the excrement of society.
