I wanted to share the definition of "cult"
so here it is;
1: formal religious veneration: worship.
2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also: its body of adherents.
3:a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also: its body of adherents.
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator .
5a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially: such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad.
b: the object of such devotion.
c: a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion.
I don't consider religions in general to be cults,
I've always only used the word "cult"
to describe those groups that are more negative/self-centered.
For example;
a 'cult' might require
you pay them so much cash or do certain tasks for them,
not just ask for donations or volunteers.
A 'cult' might try to guilt you into doing certain things,
trick you into saying certain things,
or enforce that you treat other people a certain negative way.
Cults are bad,
religions are good,
that's not how it may be officially,
but that is how I like to categorize it. :)
I have two things to say about the main topic now.
One: Respond accordingly.
Nobody has the right to take away your rights,
even the police have to grant certain rights
when arresting a criminal.
Children are not criminals
and losing freedom of religion is not a court punishment.
When I was in school
and I was told Christianity wasn't accepted there,
I took a Bible to every class and read it
while holding the book in such a way
where all could see what I was reading.
As Luzifer said,
"fight for your rights!"
Two: Keep in mind that America was made by Christians.
In spite of what so many want to claim and believe,
this is, in fact, a Christian country.
It was at birth and it still is today.
The only reason there are more non-Christians
then there were so many years ago
is because there was a smaller population so many years ago.
Compared to back then,
we also have more Christians then we used to have
so many years ago.
Point is that it makes sense
that Christian schools would be more common.
It has more followers,
a higher number of potential students,
and therefore more funding then other religious branches.
Get a few thousand people demanding Pagan schools
all within one state,
and I would predict that within five-ten years
you'll have your Pagan school.
At least one of them.
And that one,
if successful,
could be the start of many more.
