As a citizen religiologist, I don't take seriously the camp against "cults/sects" (used as a term of abuse against unpopular religious movements), because for one thing, inter alia, the term "criminal religious movement" is a more accurate and useful category than the category "cults/sects" could ever be. Couldn't we agree, that ostracizing persons of certain religious communities (henotheistic or otherwise) and having the reflexive urge to denigrate such people is not generally a sign of good character?
Furthermore, what would you rather do and where would you rather be, whether online or offline?
