Letter: Don't preach
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You acknowledge that "many unorthodox movements are respectable" and yet still lump religions such as Buddhism and Paganism with evangelical cults such as Mormonism ("Cult explosion threatens to bury Christianity", 8 June) . The former are long-established religions which people choose after finding Christianity doesn't appeal to them. It was not long ago that Hindus in India were converting to Christianity in much the same way.
The true cults are the ones which destroy other faiths by preaching that they lead to Satan. It's time Christians realised it is the arrogance and evangelicalism within their own faith that will "bury Christianity", not the unorthodox ideas of people trying to make their increasingly secular lives a little more spiritual.
