I presume you mean by 'Cult' a 'false religion'. But isn't a false
religion a religion too? Or if not, how do you tell the false ones from
the true ones? And how can more than one be true?
In a manner similar to the ability of a photon to be a wave and a particle.
;-)
I don't think so. A photon can be a wave and a particle in the sense that it behaves like a wave and it behaves like a particle.
Clearly these are not mutually exclusive attributes. That it is true that a photon is like a wave does not make it false that it is like a particle.
On the other hand, with respect to the claims of religion, for certain claims to be true other claims of other religions do have to be false.
So, I don't see the similarity :)
