Why is it insulting? The page refers to both, "other religions" and also to "cults". It is not assuming that are necessarily the same thing; it just seemed to make sense to group them together because they other religions such as Buddhism, as well as cults such as the Closed Brethren, are both non-Christian belief systems. --Graham grove 15:09, 6 February 2007 (EST)
- First, they are two totally different things. You don't see encyclopedia articles on "apples and oranges" do you? No, they are treated separately. And second, the article doesn't even have the word "cult" in it, let along describing or defining what a cult is. As it is now, it sounds as if cults and other religions are similar and related. That is wrong. Buddhism, Islam, Hindi, etc are not cults.
