Couldn't you also say that any religion that is not concurrent with your own beliefs and religion is a cult?
I have long thought of Catholicism as a cult because their belief system is very divergent from the book they base their religion on. Many other cults in the past have taken the Bible and twisted it to say what they want, taking passages out of context or deleting / adding passages all together. Does the Catholic Church do that? (Shake your head yes)
And, just because a religion becomes mainstream, gains respect, or gains political recognition, does not make it any less of a cult?
