      That definition was invented by christians seeking to destroy small religions through stigma. It’s on the same tier as the witch hunters defining a witch as an evil sorceresss. Obviously made up and fake, obviously pushing a harmful agenda.

        Cults are often led by sadistic and crazy people. Often, they are the witch hunters. They push unhealthy lifestyles and they often live isolated from civilization.
