Would love more memoirs from people who’ve left cults or fundamentalist religions
Among my favorites are Escape, Stolen Innocence, Infidel, and I'm Perfect You're Doomed. Doesn't matter to me what religion or sect, they're just cathartic reads. Please and thank you!
I enjoyed Counting the Cost by Jill Dillard (one of the Duggars!), Wayward by Alice Greczyn, Educated by Tara Westover, A Well Trained Wife by Tia Levings

Troublemaker by Leah Remini
The House of my Mother by Shari Franke
(highly recommend the audiobooks, which are read by the authors.)

Sex Cult Nun is great for nonfiction. Out of your memoir zone, Godshot by Chelsea Bieker is excellent and travels the same ground as the others you like.

A Billion Years by Mike Rinder, and Troublemaker by Leah Remini are both excellent on Scientology
Girl on a Wire by Libbi Phelps for Westboro Baptist Church
A Thousand Lives: The Untold Story of Hope, Deception, and Survival at Jonestown
Reading about cults is an interest of mine, and these three came to mind.
