      But religions extort, torment, and kill.

      See it’s completely different.

        Some cults call themselves religion. There are definitely many religions that have never extored nor tormented nor killed.

            I didn’t make the claim but would Jainism meet your criteria?

      I was gonna say that most religions do as well, but honestly the overlap is almost concentric circles

        If you make the circles the size of their members, yes.

        But if you make the circles all the same diameter, then no.

        Usually the big ones have a history of some abuse.

          Concentric, so the former. Likewise there are non religious cults
