But Mormonism is NOT a religion...it is a cult.
Religions offer their version of truth...take it or leave it. Cults suck you in with deception and lies and lock the door behind you. And cults always seem to benefit their leaders at the expense of their followers.
If cults were spreading the truth...would they need to lie about it? And would they need to apply coercion to keep you from leaving...or telling the truth about them (hence the Mormon secret rites..."can't let the rank and file know...they might tell the truth about us.")
I agree, however I do understand him using religion rather than ‘cult’. Cult is a hot button word.
