There was no debate on the meaning of the words, you said there was no difference between a religion and a cult, will posted definitions to show you the two are obviously different.
Cult of Christianity: A cult of Christianity is a group of people, which claiming to be Christian, embraces a particular doctrinal system taught by an individual leader, group of leaders, or organization, which (system) denies (either explicitly or implicitly) one or more of the central doctrines of the Christian faith as taught in the sixty-six books of the Bible.
Religion of Christianity: Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as recounted in the New Testament. Its followers, known as Christians, believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah (or Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament - which they share as part of its scriptures with Judaism and they see the New Testament as relating the "Gospel", the message revealed by Jesus.
Clear enough? Or shall I draw you a picture?

Doubtful we'll see evidence, other than 'your personal beliefs are outweighed by the beliefs of the government under which you reside'. Yeah that's real proof right there
