Any belief system, that has members who will kill children and other innocents on command, just because they are ordered to, is a cult. Patriotism is a cult. It is a blind allegiance to a charismatic leader, who’s members are willing to die for him upon command, and kill for him upon command, a cultist leader who is so persuasive, that parents willingly hand over their children to be sacrificed on battlefields. The Government of America is NOT free from religion, our government in America IS a religion.
