Isn't this entirely to be expected? The people who dominate groups like these are the ones who put the most time and effort into them, and no sane person who appreciates both the value and the limitations of rational thinking is going to see as much value in a rationalist group, and devote as much time to it, as the kind of people who are attracted to the cultish aspect of achieving truth and power through pure thought. There's way more value there if you're looking to indulge in, or exploit, a cult-like spiral into shared fantasy than if you're just looking to sharpen your logical reasoning.
