I voted under the assumption that religion was such... :S

What difference is there between religions and cults?
Cults usually focus on some extreme set of ideas, have a certain degree of control over their followers, a prominent leader, and are usually harder to get out of without having various family ties severed.

The Westboro Baptist Church, Scientology, Jonestown, & Lord Our Righteousness Church are/were all cults in my opinion.
