What is a cult?

The only sure way to avoid being deceived by a cult.

Atheism’s Worldview of Ethics, Values, and Morals:   Atheism, as with all cults, is a religion of self-righteousness.   One of the chief precepts of Atheism is the suppression of Christianity.  For instance, Atheists have a strong mandate to make sure that children are taught Atheistic principles in public schools in preference to Christian principles.  They consider themselves to be engaged in a culture war to enforce the teaching of their own dogmas as an absolute ethical mandate.  This is interesting in the light of the fact that one of their doctrines is the dogmatic assertion that there are no absolutes.   One would think they wouldn't care.   Atheism tends to prefer Nietzsche’s “values” to God’s moral laws.  This is because values are based on each person’s preference, where God’s laws are unchanging.  Since they don’t believe in God (at least they claim not to believe) they don’t want God to impose His laws on them.   There is no rational way for an Atheist to define right or wrong.  For this reason, most Atheists borrow bits and pieces of the morality of Christians or others who believe in God.  All Atheistic ethical systems are based on rationalism.  That is to say that these systems are all merely fabrications, made up stories, or speculations created in the mind of human beings as opposed to the revelation that is given to Christians.   Atheists tend to spend much effort and angst in attacking Christian ethics and morality and attacking the fact that there are moral absolutes.  Atheists arrogantly state that no one has a relationship with God.  They deny the Christian experience with Jesus.  And their rationale for this dogmatic assertion is their claim that "there is no God."  The fool hath said in his heart, "There is no God."   Atheists tend to have great animosity toward the laws of the Bible and the Christian’s ongoing relationship with Christ.    All human ethical systems, those not based on the revelation given by God have the following three characteristics: They are totally speculative, that is, rationalistic.  They are self-centered and self-righteous.  They are rebellion against God.
