The creation of deadly cults is a threat to our country and should be banned in Canada. All religious beliefs and ideations should be respected and valued until it comes time where it starts to hurt other human beings. I believe people of all cultures and religions should be allowed into Canada‚ but once they are citizens they must follow strict laws that are set in order to control and limit the freedom of such cults.
