What is another word for cargo cult?
Pronunciation: [kˈɑːɡə͡ʊ kˈʌlt] (IPA) 
Cargo cult is a term used to describe a religious movement that emerged in the South Pacific following the arrival of European explorers and traders. Synonyms for cargo cult include millenarian movements, cargoism, and cargo worship. These movements are characterized by their belief in the acquisition of material wealth through the use of magical means, often including the construction of elaborate altars and the performance of rituals. While these syncretic movements have arisen in different parts of the world, they share commonalities in their rejection of traditional beliefs and their emphasis on the material world. Despite their widespread existence, cargo cults have been subject to criticism for their reliance on superstition and their inability to uplift their followers out of poverty.
