Good point - you can make anything a religion, and TM has enough convenient pieces lying around, like mousetraps, so it can be made to operate that way too. Why you would want to, either pro, or con, TM, is another question. Both are dead ends.

It is, after all, a technique which leads to fulfillment, of the goals, of ALL the religions, IF one is willing to put in the hard work, and dedication necessary. Fear and bitterness are all I see as the drivers of this stupidity [equating TM to religion]. It is like referring to a kitchen knife as "a murder weapon", when all it is used for, in real life, is chopping carrots.
