All organised religions are cults!

Many of us think of a cult as a group of sex perverts or satan worshippers. Do you know where the term Cult came from? It actually comes from the word cultivate. I argue thta ALL religions are a cult and here are my definitions a "CULT" from mirriam websters online dictionary!

1. a formal religious veneration

2. a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also; it's body of adherents

3.: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents

4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b : the object of such devotion 
c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion
As you see only one of those definitions is of an unorthodox or nefarius religion!

I think they are. You'll have to question my reasoning out of me though if you want to debate. :)
