Who are the wall cultists?


For the people inside the walls, these very walls constitute a wonder. No one
knows where they came from, only that they protect the residents from a mortal
thread. And the walls did a pretty good job for about 100 years.

Now, when people cannot understand something, often they tend to interpret it
as a result of divine intervention, especially in times were science isn't as
advanced as today. Wall cultists are those who think of the walls as holy. In
the time shown in the anime, they got increased influence over the population.

Additionally:

> Science wasn't exactly encouraged within the walls.
