First off, no two religions are the same. It's completely nuts IMO to pretend they are all the same. The notion that we must all treat religions as equals (as we do with race) is just another example of conflating race and religion in order to give religion a free pass. This is specifically why we are encouraged to discriminate between secular ideologies, but called racist for carrying out the same type of evaluation of religious ideologies.



As to the difference between a cult and a religion I will go with a line from Joe Rogans last stand up special:

Quote:Joe Rogan:
A cult is bullshit, created by one person, and that person knows it's bullshit.
In a religion, that dude is dead.

So yeah, I guess Scientology is now a religion. Goddamned racist Germans are trying to discriminate against poor minority Scientologists: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7133867.stm
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
