Cultish perhaps, but if it is true faith, it is no delusion.
true faith
"true faith" is a delusion.
The subject of faith is only that not knowable by reason.
So to reject the existence of something not knowable by reason is an act of faith itself.
Maybe we are just debating semantics here, but faith to me is 'blind trust' and 'true' is impossible in a moving system (our reality) so the phrase 'true faith' is at best an oxymoron.
Perhaps you were tyring to say that "if you have faith with absolute conviction and give your heart to fully to god" or something to that effect - but then we are still no better as the main problem here as highlighted by OP is 'belief in the myth of authority' and that applies to god and all religions no matter how 'true' you believe your god (idol) to be; or how convicted you are in your faith to him. Civilization will continue to be (((exploited))) for as long as people are willing to toss logic out the door when it comes to 'their faith'.
