Cult is embodied in [[ritual]] and ceremony. Its present or former [[presence]] is made concrete in temples, shrines and churches. By extension, "cult" has come to connote the total [[culture|cultural]] aspects of 'a' religion, as they are distinguished from others through differentiation.

True [[religion]] is a meaningful way of living dynamically face to face with the commonplace realities of everyday life. But if religion is to stimulate [[individual]] development of [[character]] and augment integration of [[personality]], it must not be standardized. If it is to stimulate evaluation of [[experience]] and serve as a [[value]]-lure, it must not be stereotyped. If religion is to promote supreme loyalties, it must not be [[formal]]ized.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_99#99:4._TRANSITION_DIFFICULTIES]
