A religion is just a cult with good PR.
It's interesting. I would be curious to know whether every established religion
intentionally sought legitimacy at some point,
What would that mean? Legal? Where there is official government recognition of religion
(and probably tax breaks) the answer would be that they sought the recognition. And all
that you can consider 'established' have sought adherents. But "legitimacy"?? I'm not
sure how that world can be attached to "religion".

or if it's more of an inevitable consequence of surviving long enough to seem ancient.
Are their ancient cults (other than those intentionally shrouded in secrecy)?
