→Non-Christian cults
:2) Mormons are definitely often Conservatives (I've been a big fan of Orrin Hatch). Jehovah's Witnesses, on the other hand, are certainly not: they're explicitly anti-political. However, this is a separate issue from what they belief spiritually. Many Muslims are conservatives, and I would not rule out voting for one running for political office. This wouldn't force me to suppress my knowledge that his religion is false, though. Likewise with Mormonism and their status as a cult.

:3) I suppose it's not absolutely necessary for inclusion in the article, but the creed is a helpful guide. It gives the reader more detailed information on what it means to say "This religion is a cult." [[User:SavedByGrace|SavedByGrace]] 22:13, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

::Ok, I take your point. But whatever value the Nicene Creed may have in helping identify cults, this would only be valid for [[Christian]] cults. I think an entry on a broad term like this should address the question broadly, and then give more particular information later in the article.
