They don't understand & reject the teaching of the cross.
To me, these religions make light or call foolish what Jesus did on the cross as sufficient for the remission of our sins. Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished!". He knew He was without sin in His humanity, and He knew He accomplished the task.

All religions that don't exalt Christ as God, Lord, Savior and the ONLY way are enemies of Him. There are the obvious ones - Islam, Hinduism, Liberalism, Paganism, etc. but there are subtle messages within parts the church that are "anti-Christ." It's what the Pharisees' embraced and Peter ignorantly promoted - that man can earn his way to God through keeping the law of God and the cross of Christ isn't enough or isn't necessary. It's a belief that says, "God only loves me if I..." or "If I don't do ______, God will hate me and send me to hell." No! The cross of Christ is what we put our faith in not our own deeds or works. GRACE is: GOD's REDEMPTIVE ACTION COMPLETELY EXECUTED. We put our faith in HIS work and HIS grace. When we do that we will work, but not FOR righteousness with God but rather FROM God's righteousness that has been given to us. And when we have HIS righteousness we can approach Him and know Him in this life. Heaven is a wonderful by-product of this Amazing Grace.

Counterfeit Christianity is probably the best description I can give for a cult. Counterfeit Christianity is an imitation of real Christianity. Bible terms like "Jesus Christ, Resurrection, Salvation, and Atonement" are used by the Cult, but the various cult groups have assigned entirely different meanings to these terms.
Like counterfeit money which is sometimes difficult to detect, so it is difficult to detect counterfeit Christianity, since it looks like the real thing. Experts examining counterfeit money often hold it up to a strong light and look for identifying marks. Counterfeit Christianity also has identifying marks, which can be seen when, held up to an even stronger light, the light of God's word, the bible.
We are at an advantage if we know what to expect from a cult. Cultists are very well trained to appear "Christian", and indeed believe they are the true churches, and you need the deliverance! Therefore, be bold and ask the question, "do you believe the group you represent is the only true church on the face of the earth?"
If they reply that they are, or if they are evasive, making remarks like "Well, every church has a measure of truth but...", you have made an early detection of a Cultist.
Every true Christian, if asked the same question, regardless of his denomination, would reply that the true church is comprised of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and HE (not some organization) is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, (John 14:6). No legitimate denomination would claim that they alone and their members have salvation exclusively, but the cults (the counterfeits) do.

I'm not sure the best approach is to criticize other religions. Almost all religions (except for those who worship Satan, I suppose) have some good teachings. I think if more people lived the teachings of their religions more often, the whole world would be a better place. Even those of us who have a very strong faith don't always live up to the principles we know, right? Our society, in general, though, is becoming more secularized, and encourages people to focus on materialism and competition rather than worshipping Jesus Christ. So, in a sense, secular society is the "cult" that we should worry about.

To me his real Cross was telling the truth no matter What people thought of him or how they bruised him for it!
He told people about his Father's Kingdom and they hated him for it he said so and that the world would hate anyone who preached this truth.
John 12:49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
you see he was speaking for the Father
the only new commandment was
John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another

I am not anti anything, I am pro Jesus. I am not aware of any religion or belief outside of Christianity that is not against Jesus.

jesus(pbuh) made no sins in his life!he recreated dead people and cured the blinds in the name of god. he came with the massege of god to the jews and believed in moses as a prophet!
but he did not say to mankind that he is the son of god or god!neither he said that he came to save our souls from hill!
it is a man written verses!
jesus was secured by god from the jews and was not executed on the cross!and that shows us how he was loved and served by god!
jesus is one of gods massengers who came and teached people to worship him with no companions.
how come that all the believers of him as a savior of humanity will go to the heavens because they are saved from sin without doing anything!
and why jesus bear all humans' sins?why is that ?is that justice?
what is the meaning of our life then,what is the meaning of our deeds!where is our choice?why are we here then!

the bible doesn't advocate hate to fellow human beings. in fact, Jesus' greatest commandment was to love your neighbors.
the enemies of the cross are those who call him Lord and do not obey His teachings.

Not everyone has to choose Jesus as their savior. Also, people can't help it if they don't believe in someone who lived so long ago. You can't force yourself to have faith. God made us with the brains we have, that question.

Virtually all of Churchianity. The only faith that leads to the Creator YHVH and the Savior YAHOSHUA is the one that comes from them. Scriptures teach us truth. They set aside a special day for rest and worship- the Seventh day- normally called "Saturday". He said "If you love me, keep my commandments". Who is doing it? Does that answer your question?

Evangelical Christianity-it has done more to bring disrepute on the religion of Jesus than any atheist ever could.
