a religion is just a more accepted, mass cult

I concur—like I said in the post, I object to all religions generally (hence the big A in the sidebar) but in this case there are many documented cases of abuse, etc (as Gina refers to above). So treat them in the same way as a Xian sect of the same size, etc, is a valid response.

But yeah, religion not hte best plan, generally, hence the icon.
