They only intend to teach and show people a way of life, but never wanted to start a cult. Jesus wanted to get people to live a life of compassion and faith in God. Muhammad wanted to wake people up from worshiping symbols and objects that are meaningless and teach them a lifestyle similar to what Jesus taught. Siddhartha Gautama of Buddhism wanted to teach people to reach enlightenment. Guru Nanak of Sikkhism created a way of life in between the Muslim's and Hindu's philosophy. Confucius promoted a life of wisdom and Lao Tzu of Taoism promoted a life of balance and etc. All these founders have something in common. They only wanted to teach a way of life, not start a cult. Jesus never said to build a church system that would look like today's system (which consists of a lot of riches, gold, and pride). I realized that the people after the founders start the cult which holds immense pride and corruption. We are forgetting about the way of life, the most important aspect of religion.
