D&D 5E (2014) What's a non-culty official adventure?

[jayoungr]

For one of my tables, I've run Tyranny of Dragons, Curse of Strahd, and (currently) Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus. Both ToD and DiA are quite cult-heavy--in fact, the opening chapters of DiA have no less than three different cults operating against each other. It would be nice if the next adventure was as cult-free as possible, because the players are starting to find it just silly. Out of the official published adventures, which one(s) would you suggest if I want to have as little cult activity as possible?

(Note: Although I marked this "D&D 2014," as that's what the group has decided to stick with, feel free to suggest anything for D&D 2024.)

The 3 starter box sets are all rather non-cult. The after Icespire Peak series does have Talos cultists but are more barbarians if you are looking for a longer campaign.

The group has already played Lost Mine of Phandelver (I forgot to mention that in my original post). I think they'd like a longer campaign ideally, though.

Looking at my book shelf:

• Storm King's Thunder: features one set of post-ToD dragon cultists who act as airship chauffeurs for the PCs (after having run ToD for my home group, they enjoyed this reversal of fortune for the dragon cultists when I ran SKT for them later)
• Out of the Abyss: features demons, drow, and other Underdark monsters but no cultists that I can think of
• Tomb of Annihilation: no cultists
• Waterdeep: Dragon Heist: only one of the four possible paths features devil cultists
• Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage: I think one or two of the levels might have some cultists but they're not a major plot point
• Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden: features crazed followers of Auril, but I'm not sure if they count as cultists or not
• Wild Beyond the Witchlight: no cultists
• Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen: I don't think the Dragon Army soldiers count as cultists.
• Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk: the post-LMoP add-on features mind flayers, psychic goblins, and other aberrations but no cultists

The various anthologies have some adventures with cultists and some without.

It's got a lot of cultists, mostly for various Demon Lords.

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden: features crazed followers of Auril, but I'm not sure if they count as cultists or not

It's also got Archdevil cultists.
