What there is not different is the damage all of them vest on mankind.

Look at all the atrocitys that have been commited in the name of religion. We have indivigals at work ( not company sponcered ) that go on trips to help people in poor countrys. The first thing they ask for is money for bibles. My reaction is how about seeds and tools to grow food. I don't donate.

funches Chicago, IL 61, joined Nov. 2009	any belief that pertains to a God and contains more than one person is a cult and can only be deem to be a religion by the government or governments in which the belief is practice ... the reason for this is because religions/cults have the nasty habit of torturing and/or murdering those that choose not to follow their belief, so they are only allowed to practice the laws of the belief that the government(s) approve of ... which is why in reality these religions/cults are actually worshipping the government as God as both church and state work in a unison of control what the church do not take from you in tithes...the government takes from you in taxes

One big Tulsa church bases school tuition on percentage family gives. Several big churches are businesses. Religion is trying to control us through goverment.

If I'm reading this thread correctly you state that any mass of people following one "ideal" makes them a cult or religion? What seperates Atheism from the rest of them then? For one....Atheist don't go around demanding people to convert.....a person becomes an Atheist on his/her own...THROUGH REASONING. Another, Atheism doesn't lead to mass murder (past and present history bears witness for the cults)....there is no dogma, sins, mandatory Sunday gatherings (a.k.a subliminal indoctrination)...no rules to follow....no inheritance must be transferred to the cult....and above all there is not damaging impact on mankind.

largotha Lancaster, PA 34, joined Dec. 2008	In the end alot of the topics I read on these forums from "devout atheists" are attacks against Christians or Catholics. You say your not forcing your beliefs but at the same time your happy to knock someone down for having different views. I for one as a non believer of any religion feel that is hypocritical and immoral. I won't force that ideal onto you, only question your reasoning behind blatant hate. What has religion itself done to you? I guarantee nothing.

No, we are not forcing our way of thinking on others....but it doesn't men we don't think their beliefs are idiotic....See, pal, they are not mutually exclusive BTW, pal...to disagree / make fun of the believers doesn't constitute hate...blatant or otherwise.

otaku101 Eaton Rapids, MI 23, joined Jul. 2012	i agree most all are cult but buddism isnt a evil religion like christianity so the main question is which are evil and which are not. like at comic con in san diego there were christians yelling about god or hell about the worship of comic books.
