Are all religions cults?

RE: Are all religions cults?
(September 13, 2018 at 4:03 am)Aroura Wrote: 1. How do you define cult?
2. Was your religion ever a cult? For instance, would other people have perhaps defined it as such in the first 50 or 100 years after it's founding?  If so, how come it is no longer a cult?
3. For everyone, what other cults do you belong to?

1. A group of people that follow religious teachings. The other definitions for "cult" in OP notwithstanding.
2. For me it isn't about size, so all religions as far as I'm concerned are cults. I was in one of those charismatic evangelical congregations.
3. I've played RuneScape since 2005, so yeah, that has reached cult status for me.
