That's how the Jews/Romans/Greeks etc. felt about Christianity when it began. They were labeled a cult way back when...

But that's easier said than done... even bush uses god one too often. But religion also needs to be regulated... you can't have cults and unlicensed and radicle people running around preaching their own version of any religion .. can you ?

religion can no more control people to the point of social discontent then any other group. If you want to ban religion for that reason you might as well ban any group who meet regularly at a restaurant to play a game of cards or at a private home to have wild adult interactive parties.

As to the card Deity I regularly play cards and I do at times hear people menchen the card gods before trying to make a slam.
As to everything else, my entire point is that any group of people who meet regularly can create, be the catalyst, or be a group full of people with discontent. The religious groups are just the most well know ones. If it was not the religious groups it would be something else.
