Ist satanism just atheism with extra steps?
That's the us ngo satanic temple, you also have people who religiously worship satan instead of jesus. Christian multiverse. High chance of encountering cults if you look for them.
What’s the difference between a religion and a cult?
A cult may or may not include a religion.
A cult is also typically closed off to the general public (secret or keeps a low profile on purpose). Some cults also isolate their members from the rest of the general population.
You sure have overlaps between cults and religions, but they are not the same.
My question was rhetorical, but I didn’t make it obvious. Most religions isolate their members, but it just depends how much.
My point is that most religions are culty, it’s just a matter of how much.
Sometimes it’s so hard to tell the difference that one must ask themselves whether there is one. Are religions just normalized cults?
