That is a very good question. I have always wondered why when one church/compound in one town molests children it's call a cult but when the Catholic church does it to tens of thousands and has the money to avoid prosecution it's called a religion.$$$ think about it.

The definition of cult is a religious system.
Cult in terms of wacky bad dominating groups is not an official defintion but rather a cultural slang.
All relgion by defintion of being religious systems of worship are cults.

Yes & used to be one on a small scale.
I told one of my sisters how Christianity came from Judaism, she was so surprised. She looked like she didn't believe me, so I had my mom confirm it to her.
I called it "an offshoot cult from Judaism" & my mom got slightly mad and said that it wasn't a cult. lol

All religions are cults, by definition.
A new religion is always consider a "cult" by most people at first... then once it gets to be huge, it's considered a "religion".
