Traits such as Cynical make it exceedingly difficult to level that particular follower up. Sloth is yet another negative trait, as the follower that obtains it works ten percent slower. Seeing a new follower appear in your cult is a joyous moment as you add another helper and believer to help push your cause forward. If that follower joins your cult with positive qualities your cult thrives and if your newly converter cult follower has any of the following traits, they are bound to help your cult persevere with their loyalty and hard work.

If there were ever a time in Cult of the Lamb that you'd want to sacrifice one of your followers, or even somehow pull out a knife from behind your back and handle it right there in the middle of your grounds, it would be the act of a follower turning. When a follower loses faith, they promptly begin shouting the falsities of the cult. As they do so, if not handled forthwith, they begin to recruit other followers to their rebellion. If you have built a prison, you can send them there in an attempt to recover their faith, but If you are away from your cult fighting at the time, there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

If a follower is gifted with the Zealous trait, they will ignore any dissenter when they preach. They will also ignore any and all attempts at a rebellious nation. Therefore, remaining loyal to you.

3 Strong Constitution

One of the most frustrating things your followers can do is get sick. Of course, it is practical and even realistic, but it remains irritating when it happens nonetheless. When a follower falls sick they must rest. Resting to heal will typically work, however, it can take up to days for that follower to fully recover. Each follower plays a role in the progression and development of your cult. If one is out of commission for a few days - especially in the early days of the game where you may only have two or three followers - advancements are severely delayed.

The more followers you have, the dirtier the land will be, causing more illness. With the Strong Constitution trait, however, your follower can recover much quicker. They could be back on their feet as soon as a couple of hours in one day. As they recover, they continue their part in pushing the cult forward.

When this happens you can either sacrifice them or put them in jail.

A follower with immense faithfulness is going to take plenty of hardship and disappointment before turning on you. Furthermore, as the follower grows and lives on the land long enough, gaining 15 percent more faithfulness each time you do something significant essentially makes that particular follower impossible to disappoint.
