"Whatever individual practices that these various groups perform, whatever interpretations they may have of the bible, they're basic beliefs are the same.
All these sects and cults are about separation, power outside of yourself."
I belong to no group. And to me it is all about power within the temple of my body. I know others who feel the same way, and do not attend any groupings. Some of the basic beliefs certainly are the same. Like a love for life, goodness, trust, honesty, etc.
"IMO, it is not the individuals or groups/cults/sects, that are under the larger umbrella of christianity that are the problem, its the actual umbrella that is wrong."
Well, that is your opinion, but it seems you are basically saying that people are not responsible for what they believe and do, but beliefs are responsible for what they do.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
