How come Christianity isn't viewed as successful cult?

[Menelik II]

They do. This idea of viewing religions as "successful cults" originates from atheists. The rhetoric is the same

This has nothing to do with atheism, just about not believing in Christisnity.

The founders were either deist, atheist, or followed their own form of christianity with the bullshyt taken out. It's been a while since I read the letters and stuff but America was not founded as a christian nation.

I didn't say a Christian nation (that was part of the reason they left).

I said Judeao-Christian values.

-Almost every early university was started by the Church.
-Almost every town was built around a Church. The steeple of the church was always known as town square because it was the gemoetrical center of the town
-Early in American history it was required to be in good standing with the Church to hold public office in 9 of the 13 original colonies.

Come on man this isn't even up for debate

Same nikka, one was just more popular than the other and had the benefit of existing during a time period when people were more naive. No doubt in my mind that Jesus was just some crazy cult leader.

Anyone who viewed it as a cult or didn't follow got bodied.


Too many followers now to view it as anything other than a religion.

The bible was and still is used to justify the torture of the African Slave Trade..

For the same reason a rich nikka who used to be broke is not viewed as a successful broke nikka, or a butterfly is not viewed as a successful caterpillar.
