Evangelical Christianity Is A Cult

These days most Americans still identify as Evangelical Christians. It is the majority here in the United States of America where our coins still say, "In God We Trust." But there is a trend going on where more and more people are not attending church or identifying as religious anymore. More and more people are deconstructing their faith. And many are realizing that they were in a cult, the cult of Evangelical Christianity!

I grew up as a Christian and in my early 20s had a born-again experience and dove headfirst into Evangelical Christianity. Not just a normal dive but I was going for the gold and dove off the high dive into the deep end. I later got a degree in Biblical Studies and became a minister. I would like to tell you it was everything I thought it would be but that would be a lie. It was nothing it was supposed to be.

Evangelical Christianity is one big delusion, and nothing is what they say it is. I went into it looking for love, acceptance, and a family and found only disappointment. The one good thing that came out of it was an awakened spirituality and a relationship with God, but it will take many years to purge myself from all the negative things that accompanied that. What I have come to realize now is that I was in a cult, Evangelicalism is one big cult, and it often does more harm than good. And no I am not saying just the church I was in was a cult because I was in many. The whole Evangelical Christian religion with all its churches and branches is actually one big massive cult.
