CULT
n. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader. some of those things describe most religions. following someone and living under the guidance of a charismatic leader. now when i say cult, i don't mean like that one cult that killed themselves with the poison kool-aid or whatever happened, but i think that relgion could be considered cults. (not it is a bad thing) what do you think? |

Well, I don't know... that authoritarian/charismatic leader doesn't appear in all religions... I'm not quite sure.
