True Christians are a minority... always have been.... always will be... in this mortal world anyway.
Cultishness implys a domination by a man, or woman, over others.... Those of The True Christian Faith do not follow any man, or woman. Christ is The Head of The Church. And the teaching of Christ may not be imposed upon any mortal.
True Christians are a minority even in America

That is a good question. I don't thinks so. I am Jewish and we are definitely a huge minority to most religions, but we are not cultish. As long as they continue to have similar social principals to the rest of society then I don't think they will become a cult.

Obviously, you're not already familiar with some of the historical and established cultish sects of Christianity.

Pater47 has the best answer by far. Christians have a tendency to think it's their world and everyone else is just living in it. travel outside of America and see the masses of Buddhists and see if you don't call Christians the minority.

I see evidence of many christians displaying 'craziness' already. Tennessee snake handlers come to mind immediately, and any number evangelical TV preachers. Ted Haggard is in a class by himself, being 'cured' of homosexuality in 6 weeks.
Perhaps christianity, like epoxy, can be cured as well.

I'd imagine that if Christianity ever did become the minority, a small number of people would go whacko with it, while a good number would remain rational. Pretty much like today.

We're already a minority in many places. I've always been in the minority being a Christian, except in church!

There are estimated to be between two to three billion Christians in the world. Everytime the church is persecuted, it grows. It is growing like crazy in China, Africa, Russia and other places.
