Religion - Cult

Perry Supporter calls Romney's Religion a Cult.

I'd agree but lots of groups qualify as cults. Here's Webster's definition: [Cult]

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 
5. 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. the object of such devotion. a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion

Based on that I'd say the following are cults.

• All religions
• The "Tax Cuts are the Answer to Every Economic Problem" crowd.
• The "Gold Standard" group.
• The "Government is always bad" crowd.
• The Tea-Party is a cult of the Constitution (their interpretation only) or maybe the "Cult of Fox News"
• The extreme environmentalists
• The Hard-core Apple devotes's.

Cults are a lot like dictators or terrorists, if they're ours they're OK but if they're the other-side's, well, then they're evil as hell.
