I don't think there is anything essentially novel about it. It's a scifi format story of an insider of a cult realizing the doctrines are false, in this case because the cult leader gets caught in the net they created, exposing the fraud.
All cults are prejudicial.
The situation we are in now is a cult writ large, with thousands of tentacles of insiders and handled outsiders. The precrime is just a variant of original sin doctrines which conflates flaws with malice accused upon all.

Equilibrium is exactly the same theme, also. Christian bale is way cooler than Tom cruise.
