Would you then, by extension call our U.S. Constitution a cultish document? Our founders credited the Bible in part as being instrumental in the constitution’s creation, which had to be made palatable to the 95 per cent of the Americans at the time who called themselves Christian? The freedoms you enjoy were based on the belief in a man who died and rose again.

Welcome to the cult...there is no escaping it!

Christians have also used the Bible as justification for slavery. Do I blame Christianity, then, for slavery? Of course not. Neither do I credit Christianity for the fact that almost 1800 years later, it occurred to the western world that we might be able to govern ourselves. Let's not get hysterical about this.
