I looked up the defs. Here's what I found. I hope this clears some things up for you.
From Dictionary.com
Religion:
1. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
2. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
Cult:
1. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader. 2. The followers of such a religion or sect.
So you see, religion is not a cult, a cult is an extreme group on the edges of society. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the true God, and He is the one who can deliver us from our sins, and guide us to love, peace, and prosperity.
