For Baha'is, it's usually a matter of being attracted to rather than being repelled away from something. The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world religions. Believers come in all ages, all walks of life, all nationalities, every religious/no religion background, all socio-economic levels. Most Baha'is, naturally, live in India and Africa as those are the two most populated places. Rather than feeling dissatisfied with our former religions, Baha'is see Baha'u'llah's teachings as fulfilling our former religion. Above all, however, people are attracted to the Baha'i Faith because of the relevancy of Baha'u'llah's teachings in today's world and the central tenet and principal aim of the realization of the oneness of humanity and the establishment of justice.
Former Hindus see Baha'u'llah as Shah Bahram; Jews the Lord of Hosts; Buddhists, the fifth Buddha; Christians, the return of the Christ Sprit; and Muslims, the Great Announcement. Baha'u'llah claims to be no less than that long-awaited universal educator foretold in all the world's holy scriptures who will unite humanity under one banner in one common faith. Many First People's religions have similar a similar promise.

People who are looking for something. Whatever it is, if they feel like they are getting it from the cult it's easy to slide in.
It seems race and class are not really a factor. It's the feeling that they are missing something.

Any one that has been hurt by their prior religion and are dispirit to belong to a group.
This deprecation and loneliness is how the Heaven's Gate, Order of the Solar Temple, and Peoples Temple were able to gain followers.

people that have been hurt by their religions, people that need a sense of belonging and people that are followers. Typically rebellios individuals are quick to join new movements so that would include teens as well.
