This perspective is not far off.
In some respects, NWBO is pretty similar to an end of time new religious movement including in-group vs out group, distrust of government institutions, hagiographic treatment of the movement leader(s) with one online depiction showing Linda Powers with a halo), demonization of dissenters and competing approaches (note the attacks on the helmet), an Antichrist like figure in the form of Adam Feuerstein and above all the talk of the need for faith and other overtly religious language used to discuss the company, and of course an endlessly deferred apocalyptic moment where all wrongs will be righted and the faithful rewarded and the wicked punished.
