Why The Word “Cult” Was Invented

As a possible example check out the description for Coulter's recent book Godless. Also, atheism is sometimes aggressively called a religion.

Religiosity has for generations been an insult as is aptly expressed here,although slightly veiled. It was an insult because thinking used to be something that was strived for by the great and the leaders of men. That is no longer required of public and popular figures, and this current Administration in America has used it to their advantage/worked to further it. I only hope the tide will turn and we can undo the damage that has been done/is being done from January, 2001 to January, 2009.
