Religion Is A Massive Cult!!! by Nobody: 1:15am On Jun 15, 2016

Lets Just Roll Into This Quickly
By Defination A Cult Means:
cult:-
Noun:
- followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices
- an interest followed with exaggerated zeal
- followers of an unorthodox, extremist, or false religion or sect who often live outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader
- a system of religious beliefs and rituals

- A group of people having an obsession with or intense admiration for a particular activity, idea, person or thing.


From Wikipedia We Have:
a cult is a religious group with socially deviant or novel beliefs and practices. However, whether any particular group's beliefs and practices are sufficiently deviant or novel is often unclear, thus making a precise definition problematic.

Now Lets Look At The Defination Of Cultism:
cultism:-
Noun:
- devotion to the doctrine or a cult or to the practices of a cult

Now Before Anyone Becomes A Part Of A Cult Or Any Secrete Society They Must First Participate In A Kind Of Ritual Same Thing Also Applies For Religion Also!! In Other Words Religion Is A Cult That Has Grown So Big With Many Members Partaking In It Who Must Also Go Through All This Rituals To Become A Full Member!!
Now Lets Look At The Defination Of Rituals
Ritual:
A ritual "is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, and objects, performed in a sequestered place, and performed according to set sequence." Rituals may be prescribed by the traditions of a community, including a religious community. Rituals are characterized by formalism, traditionalism, invariance, rule-governance, sacral symbolism, and performance.
Rituals are a feature of all known human societies. They include not only the worship rites and sacraments of organized religions and cults, but also rites of passage, atonement, purification rites And oaths of allegiance

From My Dictionary We Have:
ritual:-
Adjective:
- of or relating to or characteristic of religious rituals
Noun:
- any customary observance or practice
- the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies

For Christians B4 U Can Become A Member:
Christian practices vary by denomination, but common elements include a Sunday worship service, private and corporate prayer, study
and reading of the Scriptures, and participation in rites such as baptism and communion (known as sacraments).

Christian worship services generally include:
singing, prayer and a sermon. Most churches have a special ritual for ordination, or designating a person fit for a leadership position in the church. At home, most practicing
Christians pray regularly and many read the Bible. Many Christians will have been baptized either
as an [b[infant or as an adult,[/b] and regularly participate in communion (also called the Lord's Supper and the Eucharist). Baptism and communion are considered sacraments - sacred rituals instituted by Christ himself.

For Catholic:
The Catholic Church recognizes five additional sacraments, as well as many other distinctive practices that are known as "sacramentals" or "devotions" and include praying the rosary and going on pilgrimages. Distinctive Catholic practices include recognition of seven total sacraments, Sunday mass, devotion to the Virgin Mary and the saints, and veneration of relics and places associated with holy figures. Eastern Orthodoxy holds many practices in common with Catholicism, but is especially distinguished by the central role of icons: ornate images of Christ and the saints believed to provide a connection to the spiritual world.
Every Cult Or Secrete Society Also Do This

Now What Is Bapthism:
Baptism is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption, almost invariably with the use of water, into the Christian Church generally. The canonical Gospels report that Jesus was baptized a historical event to which a high degree of certainty can be assigned. Baptism has been called a sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also called christening, but for others the word "christening" is reserved for the baptism of infants. Baptism has also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations, they being called Baptism as a whole.


For Muslims B4 U Can Become A Member:

Certain sacred practices and rituals are very important to Muslims. They are a significant way that followers of Islam remember history, express conviction, and grow in devotion.
Some rituals are practiced daily, like prayer; others are practiced annually, like those aligned with specific Islamic holidays. The religious practices and rituals of Islam are relatively few in number, but great in importance. The Five Pillars of Islam are five practices regarded by all sects of the Islamic religion as essential to the Muslim faith.
Islam is a religion that is approximately 1,400 years old, having been founded by Muhammad in the 600's A.D. Muhammad's teachings were complied after he died by his followers and
makeup the sacred text for Muslim, called the Quran. Islam is one of the largest religions in the world at the beginning of the 21st century.
Islamic religious practices and rituals
Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam (Arabic arkan ud-Din, "pillars of the faith"wink are the five religious duties expected of every Muslim. The five pillars are mentioned individually throughout the Qur'an
and Muhammad listed them together in the Hadith when he was asked to define Islam.
Confession of faith (shahada)
Shahada is the Muslim profession of faith, expressing the two simple, fundamental beliefs that make one a Muslim: La ilaha illa Allah wa Muhammad rasul Allah. There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God.
Ritual prayer (salat) Perhaps the most well-known Muslim practices among non-Muslims is ritual prayer, or salat

In Conclusion We Have Seen That "Religion" Is A Cult That Started Out Gradually Winning Its Member Through Fear By Scaring Them With Hell And Promising Them Heaven If Only They Would Do What Allah Or Yahweh Commanded Thats Why So Many Atrocities Has Been Commited In The Name Of Religion As Would Be Done In Cult They Is No Difference Promising Someone Kitty-Cat In The After Life Common Who Will Fall For That??
