Cult or religion, it IS a set of beliefs. It can be outright bull****, but people still believe it. I think it’s the organization – the so-called CHURCH which is the leech. But personally, I’d call it a cult. I’ve never come across any other major religion where donations or fees are forced in order to improve the practitioner.

In Islam, they have the compulsory concept of zakat. Zakat, however, is giving alms. So a Muslim will have to fork out his own cash and look for people to donate to. He doesn’t make any bull**** payments to a mosque so they can renovate the place, or for a set of enlightening jockstraps when the zakat is meant to help people who actually need it.
