In Fiction
The Brethren of the Free Spirit are the main antagonists of the science fiction trilogy Venus Prime by Arthur C. Clarke & Paul Preuss, in which the members believe that first contact between aliens from Crux and humanity should be with them only. The cult suborns a school project at The New School For Social Research, SPARTA, and then takes its principal student, Linda Nagy, as the herald of the cult, setting in motion the main events of the trilogy.
