If you are asking about Augustine of Hippo, he does not seem to have joined "many" cults, but he did belong to one in particular-- a Persian religion that was, at that time, a rival of Christianity-- it was called Manicheism, named after their founder, a Mesopotamian man named Mani. The Manicheans were dualists: they believed life was a cosmic battle between good and evil; the cosmic battle was also fought in the heavens, with a deity who represented the light of wisdom and a deity who represented the darkness of ignorance. Ultimately, Augustine drifted away from this cult, and came to disagree with its teachings. He was baptized a Christian around the year 387 and became a leader of the church in Africa.
