cult ( P ) Pronunciation Key (klt)
n.

A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
it doesn't seem to state that a cult is non-mainstream. is not religion communities of worship? as i stated before, the size of the flock doesn't change the facts. sadly, you are correct, the majority of the planet is religious and severely lack independent thought, but nonetheless, it seems to keep the majority of them in check, which can be viewed positively. and yes, it is brainwashing due to the simple fact i stated earlier about the lack of proof that “god” exists. billions of people are following a religion (a majority comprising of monotheism) because it is what society says is 'right'. their inability of independent thought has rendered them helpless to think otherwise, and if that's not brainwashed, then it's a dangerous mental weakness. whatever floats your boat though, nothing is going to change as humanity is already doomed for self destruction.

indeed better or worse are subjective terms, but in this case, viewing this objectively, they are all one in the same in essence.
