Dunno.
All religions are actually controlled to a point.
For instance, under Christianity... there's Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, etc. They all follow the same God, but follow it differently. They have different rules, different holidays, different views, and so forth.
I find the whole religion thing to be pointless. People say that we should follow God and not fight. Well, people still fight over religion... over which God is better.
Look at Bin Laden... he's fighting because he believes in his god. We're fighting him because we believe our God is right and not his.
If you were to take Sociology in school, they define a CULT as a group that follows a religious belief that's different from the majority.
Since the majority is Christianity, we look at those whose religion is Satanism as being cults. What about those in other countries who follow different religions? Our main religion is Christianity, so we look at them as "wrong religion". If they were to look at us, they would be saying the same thing... "We're Muslims, the United States is following the wrong religion!"
Which religion is right?
