But if you ask me, the finitists are the ones who look like an extremist cult to me.
Christians are to infinitists as Platonic/Aristotelian philosophers and gnostics are to finitists.
Christianity had its beginnings as a cult until expanded to enslave much of Europe for centuries. But it was eventually exposed as the ideological canard that is, when reality could no longer be ignored with the advent of empiricism and logical positivism. Now Christianity is dying, with most of its not even seriously practicing it.
Like Christians, Infinitists will soon no longer be able to ignore reality as computationalism and algorithmic information theory become the dominant paradigm in the sciences.
