How do you contextualize that many disparate cults can exist -inside- of a single religion, then, MK?
Lets use some ancient example. There was second dynasty egyptian polytheism, and the within that there was the cult of bastet. One of these things is not like the other.
Similarly, there is islam......and then there is what you practice. Religion, sect, cult. The bastest cult was part of the lower egyptian sect..of the middle kingdom egyptian religion. There's a difference, no matter how hard cultists plead otherwise in a bid for equal credibility and deference with respect to the sect or religion.
