    Islam - early 600s A.D.

    From Wikipedia --

    "For the last 22 years of his life, in 610, beginning at age 40, Muhammad started receiving revelations from God. The content of these revelations, known as the Qur'an, was memorized and recorded by his companions."

    No, it isn't. Atheism is an absence of belief. It doesn't fit the definition of a cult at all.

    Islam is supposed to be about peace, and some Muslims realize that. However, too many believe in the twisted version of Islam. This version is about hating everything western, hating Jews, Christians, Hindus, Athiests, etc.. I'm atheist and I believe everyone is entitled to believe in what ever they like. However, when you start spreading your religion around the world and it starts becoming the number one religion in the world, which it will be in about 50 years, then there's a problem. A lot of Muslim radicals want to force everyone to become Muslim, which is wrong. The Muslims are winning in Europe. The European birth rate is 1.8, which is not enough to support a culture. In order for a culture to survive, it needs to have a birth rate of 2.1. Anything below that, and the culture will disappear. However, the population of Europe isn't decreasing, the Muslim birth rate in Europe is 8.1! That's almost eight times higher than anyone else. 50% of babies born in Belgium are muslim. 25% of all France is Muslim. They muslims coming into Europe are not intergrating! They do not adapt to European culture. 75% of crime committed in Sweden is caused by Immigrants, mostly Muslims. Malmö, the third largest city is 25% Muslim. In about fifteen years Muslims will be the majority in Malmö. Sweden currently have the highest crime rate in all of Europe. Hundreds of school burn, police stations are attacked, fire fighters are attacked, etc..
