I wouldn't say this is necessarily spiritual exploitation, as they are just abusing the psychological underpinnings that constitute spiritual and religious practices, without the need of metaphysical thinking. To me, they are exploiting the basic need for community through isolation and the need to self preserve they exploiting the their need of Personal identity through a methodology that makes you an Outcast until you think of yourself as a burden upon society and that you are meaningless unless you become the herd itself having a non self identity but a group identity.
