and gains followers...
that is a religion
whereas when my uncle did that...

Hmm -
I would say the difference is that PROOF has been given and "felt by many" to the EXISTENCE of GOD / CHRIST.... where as there are usually only a small amount of people that follow other people claiming today that they are the TRUE CHRIST - and usually with out PROOF.

P.S.
It is like being YOU or ME.....
there can only be ONE of US and if any one else was to claim to ME or YOU, then they would be a FAKE, and if they pushed their claim as FACT and GAINED followers then it would become a CULT.
