Religion is a particular system of faith and worship. Many religions have an organised ministry and clergy, scripture and holy places. There is also sacramental prayer, which spills over into death and public service. Ever so often, confusion arises between what constitutes a religion and a cult. According to the Cult Information Centre, a cult has the following characteristics: it uses psychological coercion to recruit, and indoctrination to retain members; it tends to be elitist; believes that the end justifies the means, and the wealth does not benefit the members of its society.
