Seems every movement has two options:
1. We have the Truth, so conform or burn.
2. We have the Truth, so it would be cool if you conformed, but if not you still get some benefits.
Number 1 will keep the movement somewhat small. Number 2 is what I would call the McDojo approach to religion.
What is a McDojo?
There are two kinds of combat sports/martial arts gyms, the Fight Gym, and the McDojo or "Family Martial Arts" gym. The fight Gym is like an old school boxing gym. You sign up to learn to box. As a result, they tend to be small, can't pay the bills, not too many people want to pay money to learn how to get punched in the face. The McDojo however is all about how you too can learn teh dedly martial arts BUT you don't have to actually fight or do any kind of serious sparring or mess up your makeup. Fitness classes for everyone! They appeal to the masses and make lots of money and open up branch gyms and franchises. But most of their students would get obliterated in the ring or the octagon by people who train at the Fight Gyms.
