To qualify as such, cults, in my mind, need to have more central, more overt religious/spiritual beliefs and practices.
Merriam-Webster's website defines cult as "a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous". That's what I'm going for with this thread.
