The vast majority of Americans agree with me in stating that the LDS organization is a cult.
While I totally agree that LDS != Christian, I do have a concern about the word cult. While correct in a Christian theological context, it gets confused with the Jonestown and the like in the minds of many. It also should not be used about Scientology or other non-Christian religions.
The real issue with Scientology here is not its belief structure, but is its claim of being Christian. Its not, anymore than Islam or other “sucessor” religons. If it would just acknowledge that and move on, this would be a non-issue
