It's not that I mind being in the Cult of Warming, but I think, as defined, cult applies to you and the few others who worship da Nile and Exxon. I mean, if 99%+ of the scientists and all the national science academies and most of the world leaders and most of the people are in the cult, we aren't the cult. It's the small minority. GW is mainstream, eh? That makes you the outlier. ======== In religion and sociology, a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream. Its separate status may come about either due to its novel belief system, because of its idiosyncratic practices or because it opposes the interests of the mainstream culture. Other non-religious groups may also display cult-like characteristics. en.wikipedia.org
