Let's just say I don't put David
Koresh in the same class as a religion.

Sorry, but that shows extraordinary ignorance of Koresh. He was part of a well established offshoot of a well established religion. His knowledge of the Bible was extraordinary, and his Biblical teachings, whether or not you agreed with them, were significant. Several professors of religion at major univerities were consulted by the government and were clear that he had legitimate religious beliefs and convictions, whether or not you agreed with him.

Maybe you don't consider Martin Luther, John Calvin, or many others to be in the same class as a religion?

No religion springs from the ground immediately with tens of thousands of members. Christ started with twelve disciples, which is a lot fewer than Koresh had.

Narrowmindedness doesn't help discussion.
