It’s better to just downvote, really. You are always running the risk that you’re helping a troll earn his paycheque. I’m sure this fellow is not being paid, he seems very dedicated to dunking on [women with mental illness] women on a personal level.
(edit for grammatical clarity; “mentally ill” is still often used pejoratively by people like the one you’re responding to…)
edit: by which I mean, if I am going to align myself with any group in this situation, it is with the fraternity of fellow musicians, and in that world she is my sister, and contains multitudes.
No they are not and it’s an ignorant claim to make. You can leave a religion without the members having to cut ties with you and religions tend to not care if you have individually given money. Cults disfellowship people who leave and are very focused on your donations.
Given how ignorant you are over what a cult vs religion is I don’t think you should be generalizing about any one religion’s beliefs.
it’s not like apostasy is a requirement for the definition of a cult.
depending on which of the dictionary definitions you’re going by, a cult could be anything from a religious system of veneration for a figure, to a group with extreme beliefs outside of that of an established religion.
to me it seems like the only common denominator for all of the definitions is that the group is smaller than that of a religion.

do you think that her joining islam (and by extension her comments about non-muslims) was a result of her mental illness?
That’s cute.

A religion with over a billion followers is not a cult.
All religions are cults.
By the way are you counting all the different sects as a singular group? In some places the cultists would kill you for that.

And thus we are back to my point that a group containing 1/8th of all people isn’t a cult
