Many religions don't feature a god. Buddhism is one example. I don't think Wicca does either.

In the rest of the world it is still officially considered a cult, though it seems to piss them off extremely when you call it a cult!

All religions are cults. The only difference between the two words is that "cult" is never used in the first person, as in "my" or "our".
