Of all the cult followings over the years, which is the most powerful and dedicated? Is it the Star Trek fans, Beliebers, Twihards or Bronies?

Science-fiction is notorious for attracting cult followings simply because of its futuristic nature.

The result of this behavior is popular fan cults that have entire conventions dedicated to the franchise.
Most recently, singer Justin Bieber has attracted a cult following of young fans who support everything he touches.
