To help understand the difference between a religion and a cult, firstly look at this thread
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/96309/1.ashx
That has the 8 characeristics of a cult.
Get the book: "cults too good to be true" by Raphael Aron
The book talks about the difference between a religion and a cult.
As a Catholic I don't feel that I am being controlled by fear, you learn to worship God out of love and not fear. 'Be not afraid '
In fact if you go onto www.catholic.com and go onto the forums there, you'll see that this topic has been discussed a fair bit.
Once you have a relationship with God, you learn to not be afraid, sure the thought isn't all that great, but its best to choose not to dwell on it and be constantly afraid.
Religions help you concour death and the fear of death, cults generally pound it in your face saying "if you leave you will die!"
Catholism in particular as you all know rarely excommunicate, the fear facter is not used.
Its mentioned in the bible that there is a hell, lake of fire etc. We can't just choose to ignore it because it sounds rather disturbing.
religions don't teach about hell for it to be a threat, this topic is very controversial. It is a disturbing thought suffering for eternity.
But the teaching is not there to contol people with fear.
All actions have a concequence.....

Hell is a scare tactic used by "Christian" leaders to keep their flock in line.
Don't think so, they only teach what is written in the bible. Here is a link on hell, http://www.catholic.com/library/Hell_There_Is.asp Cults use fear to control people but religions don't so make sure you don't get those two mixed up. Evanescence
