The following are signs that I have found that would make question whether a church is a cult or religion. Denial of measurable, palpable reality. Some of the explanations why the religion is right and facts are wrong are bazar. “Science is a religion” (it’s not, it’s a methodology for asking questions) “God put dinosaur bones there just to challenge our faith” (WTF) The authority of the holy book shall not be questioned. This usually extends to the ‘elders’ interpterion of Gods word should not be questioned. Initially the questions are ‘explained away’ later they frowned upon. The church will try to distance the new converts from ‘non-believers’ this is usually a slow and subtle process. Certain groups are seen as evil and must be condemned. These groups include, but are not limited to, other religions and churches, LGBT+ people and certain ethnic groups. Innocuous language is used to ‘politely’ condemn the offending group. “it’s a lifestyle choice” “they are following a false profit” Sounds reasonable and compassionate to church member but is offensive to the relevant group. Leaving the ‘church’ is severely frowned upon. Those that leave are disowned, either subtlety or outright shunned.
