text: What cults and religions have in common is that they all promote belief in the unbelievable, belief contrary to the demonstrable, and rejection of the rational in favour of the emotional.  They also generally promote their ideas through either or a combination of force and fear.
  
  The difference between a cult and religion is just a question of acceptance over time, which says as much about being in the right place at the right time as it does about the "rightness" or the doctrines of the particular religion.  Christianity was just one of many cults that through historical accident (i.e. gaining approval of  Constantine 1 of the Roman Empire) and officially-enforced policies gained general acceptance.
  
  I do agree, however, that all religions should be treated equally.  All of them should be ignored and denied any official recognition or support.
