I call it a cult because that's exactly what it is. You clearly don't know what a cult it to suggest otherwise.


Hahahahahahah, No. Religions are not cults. Try again, angsty atheist.

It's funny you bring atheism in to every post you make about religion yet it doesn't change anything about what is being said. Also why would I be angry at things typed on the internet? Least of all things typed by you. That's a rhetorical question by the way. You clearly need to be educated more.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/cult

"a religious group, often living together, whose beliefs are considered extreme or strange by many people"

"a particular system of religious belief"

You typing "Religions are not cults" doesn't change facts.

Christianity isn't considered "an extreme or strange belief by many people" unless you're an atheist, if course.

Christianity is a religious group. Stop being obtuse. Also we are talking about all religions. I can only assume you're religious and offended by facts. That's ok though. MR J doesn't care about your feelings and neither do facts.

christianity isn't really a cult, but there are a disturbingly large number of christians that absolutely bring that mindset to it and make it feel that way.

Technically, religions would be cults by the actual definition, it would seem...

SunWuKung420 posted...
Religions don't force you to join. Religions don't force you to worship a human leader. Religions don't sow distrust amongst followers. Religions don't control you.

Cults do those things. Atheism is more of a cult than religions.

Also, I would like to point out that some cults dont force you to join. Though, many might use manipulation to make you stay. Which lots of religions do, as well... Things like saying youll go to hell if you dont go to church every Sunday. Or if you sin and stuff. So, I mean, they also act like many cults do...

Religions are just very large religious groups, often designated as such by at least one governing bodies.

Dangerous religious groups are called cults and not(-so) dangerous ones sects. which is both an informal distinction, but also one officially maintained by governments,

You can also diagnose any collective to see if they are a cult by following something known as the BITE model.

Just because they call themselves a church, does not mean it is not a cult. @LuciusLatios

I wasn't asking it like that. I was asking it because that church is literally within biking distance from my house

In all seriousness, none that I'm aware of, but I do live very close to an island that used to be the headquarters of a fairly famous cult back in the 1920s.

Depends on what part of the world you live in and what's around you. But yes, the original definition of a cult has its basis in religious sects. Just because you want to plug your fingers in your ears and sing Naah naah naah I can't hear you! Does not make it any less true.
