What is a cult?

Answer #1

The word cult has three definitions. First of all, it can simply be a group that loves something. When people refer to an “Elvis cult” or “The O.C. cult,” they mean really devoted fans.

The second definition is that of a religion whose beliefs differ from the majority around them. In the Roman Empire, Christians were sometimes considered a cult because they worshiped Jesus rather than the Roman gods.

The third, and most commonly used definition, refers to a religious group that is:

Exclusive. They may say, “We’re the only ones with the truth; everyone else is wrong; and if you leave our group your salvation is in danger.”
Secretive. Certain teachings are not available to outsiders or they’re presented only to certain members, sometimes after taking vows of confidentiality.
Authoritarian. A human leader expects total loyalty and unquestioned obedience.

Answer #2

its usually a bunch of religiouse people who have no respect for authority because they make up there own, they brainwash people into beleiving in what they do, and usualy practice sick, digusting ways of doing something or engage in sick or harmful practices like killing themselves in a lot of chrsitian cults or cutting themselves and drinking there and each others blood in vampire cults ect basically its sick, disgusting, harmful and wrong unlawful behaviour that the people have been brainwashed or scared into doing

Answer #3

It’s pretty much just a group of people who all have something in common. Either they all like the same thing, they all follow the same thing, or they all want to do the same thing!(kill people possibly, not always,though)
