Sure it's a religion. Look up the definition of the word.
If you think that what you must consider "religions" weren't a form of mind control or way of making money, then you haven't bothered learning very much Western History.
Christianity was widely considered a "cult" as recent as 1700 years ago.
You give credit to the other "cults" simply because they've been around longer, have more of a following, and their desire to control the minds of their followers or absorb their pocketbooks maybe isn't as obvious as it once was.
Personally, I think Sting put it best: "Men go crazy in congregations, but they only get better one by one"
