Yeah I can't see any sort of "cult" varient being accepted on goonstation. Here's why.
1. Idiots have used Cult as an excuse in the past to grief under the pretext of religion.
2. Cult/rev/gang all share the same basic idea of turn the crew against each other, and enable the crew to tide at it's worst. Normally I love going all out on the heads because antag, but I think we can accomplish that with one or two game modes, not 3 or 4. I'd just stick with Rev for the rare adminbus rounds, and the occasional round of gang for the "leave the crew alone but still kill eachother" rounds.
I say if you want the idea to have merit, remove the culty bits, and use ants instead. A space ant infestation controlled by players seems more amusing, and reminds me of that simpsons episode where Homer is an astronaut and accidentally releases ants aboard the shuttle. Ants could also be jerks to botany and chef, in addition to spawning mounds of dirt for some reason. Wraith and Vampire hate Chaplain, and to a lesser extent science and barman. Security is hated by wizards, traitors, and maybe even gangs. Bout time Botany and chef got a rude menace intended to overtake the station. Of course that role might already be taken by blob, who everyone hates.
I don't know if anyone actually likes ants, but they're related to wasps and some of them sting.
