Best distinction I ever read was this -- a cult is a religion, but one without strong, protective political connections.

Talk about protection---orthodoxy---papal infallibility...USSC requires--ESTABLISHES forced evolution...
and restricts--prohibits all else---God--Truth--creation...amazing!
Patrick-nazi-Henry...evolution champion---apostle/archangel!
I think busing---affirmative actions..."operations" woke up a lot of people to the dangers of govt tyranny and so will this evolution-religion phenomena too!
or alternatively, a religion is a cult that has been housbroken.
