T/F EVERY "GOVERNED " by cults ? using my my CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Cult ( noun) OXFORD dictionary provides 3 uses of the word cult
# 1 a system of RELIGIOUS veneration and devotion toward a particular "FIGURE" or object
# 2 a relatively small group of people ( a size determination ) having religious beliefs or practices regarded by OTHERS as "STRANGE " or "SINISTER "
#3 a misplaced or excessive "Admiration " for a particular person or thing
Religion ( per sociology ) is a CULTURAL system of DIRECTED behaviors and practices of a SOCIAL organization that promotes a doctrine/ identification of "HOLY places and the promotion of "SUPERNATURAL PROPOSITIONS "
stats indicate that the planet earth has 195 declared "NATIONS " that are recognized by the " UNITED NATIONS the "HOLY SEE " and "PALESTINE " are identified as "STATES " so by some peoples definition there are 197 Nations/ Countries
( additionally the the various American Indians in the USA consider themselves a Nation )
using definitions # 1 & # 2 would indicate a THEOCRACY form of goverment which would be the VATICAN and IRAN
as to use # 3 i know of NO nation who's population who ALL of its residence exhibit a excessive admiration for its "leader " many may not so the claim ALL Nations are governed by cults is a FALSE premise
a complete Premise example would be ( system of logic )
ALL MEN are Mortal
Socrates was a MAN therefore ( conclusion )
Socrates was mortal line # 1 ALL nations are governed by cults Line # 2 one would have to insert each and every recognized nation
and SHOW its governed by a CULT using one or more of the definitions of a cult
