Nah, religion is always a cult.

Imo cults have more to do with in-groups and out-groups and their relation in your mental space.

If your in-group is worth more to you than the total sum of all out-groups; you are in a cult.

Humanity is one race, subdividing it and labelling all the chunks is where we went wrong. The fact we have a word to describe this outcome shows we are pretty far down this tube.

If you're reading this and think to yourself "surely this person is misled, they're not a part of (insert religion) so wouldn't know anything about what they say" congratulations, you're right (and also in a cult).
