The Plain Truth and Mr Armstrong's  WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD are considered
a cult by Orthodox Protestant Christianity as are the Scientologists.

You take the old tactic of choosing a couple of very unrepresentative
samples and holding them out to be typical.  On the other hand, the 
Press bias and ignorance concerning religious matters is well known
with this latest survey (which I think CBN paid the Gallup folks to 
run) confirming our observations and our gut.
