In my experience nobody wants to admit that the group that they belong to is a cult. In my experience the more adamantly they deny it, the more of a cult member they really are.
Scientologists are notorious for that childish stubborn denial that they belong to a cult. And if you want to see some really angry people -- find some ex-scientologists. Those folks are PISSED.
Right, cult is such a diry word. But religion has become such a dirty word that plenty of religions don't want to be called a religion either.
Have you heard those post-modernist type christians who say it's not a religion, it's a relationship.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
