    I don't feel like I need any more words to express my opinion. It's exactly like religion, if you weren't raised in it, you correctly see it at culty and weird.

      Religion would seem culty since a cult is literally a religion.

        American brand patriotism with it's strong demands of unthinking obedience has a lot of the same qualities as a religion.
