It's only a "cult religion" for some on the Left. For those on the Right, it's an opportunity to grift, to perpetrate a con on the average person for the benefit of a select few.
Those who fail to appreciate this reality will never truly understand what's going on with the Green/climate agenda. Farage is either a dope or is shilling for someone, to the extent he's saying that the Tories have embraced the "religion" aspect here. Not at all. It is either sheer political cowardice on their parts, or they are enthusiastically embracing the grift, as money-worshipping "conservatives" are wont to do at every opportunity.
That would be beside the point if we want to understand how Christianity has been taken advantage of.
