I don't think the YECs have any idea that they are but a minor cult form of religion, be it Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu or any other religion and that they should be taken seriously not for their beliefs, but for the potential damage and destruction their handicap might cause to society and civilization.
Well, according to a CNN poll back in Sept., 55% of all Americans believe that God created man in his present form. Not necessarily "yec," but certainly not believers in evolution.
That doesn't sound like a "minor cult" to me.
