Is Christianity a religion or a cult?
I've been raised to believe in God and his attributes, heaven, hell, and all the Bible stories. All of the sudden I started questioning things about the Bible inerrency. This was a couple weeks ago. I've deconverted after 25 years as a fundamental, baptist, Evangelical Christian. The Bible claims to be inspired and infallible and critical thinking is discouraged. Anyone who disagrees is going to hell. This kept me in fear for a long time. Could this be a cult?

In a lot of ways both. Cults tend to force you to cut away from other people. Some are worse than others.

All religions are cults because of the brainwashing.

Probably. There are so many people involved in this lie, though, that it gets the religion label instead. Teaching children this stuff should qualify as child abuse.

The only difference between a religion and a cult is the number of followers it has, and how long it's been around.
