Church-driven Christianity has become a cult.
And I don't say that lightly.
A great deal of even vaguely evangelical church-goers listen to the sermon teachings each Sunday and take it to heart. They don't question it, they don't read their Bible for themselves, they barely even discuss it with other congregants. They're basically told not to. This is almost exactly how the church ran for hundreds of years before the Reformation. It is also how several other monotheistic religions have run for hundreds if not thousands of years.
