For the record, I never defined “cult” in any formal or precise way, on purpose. I also didn’t attribute faith in God or a particular religion as a cult. These are signs not definitions. Feel free to (please) supply me with some formal definitions and let’s see if the signs apply.

Here is a very good book on the subject, written by a man who was very high up in the Moonies:

Combatting Cult Mind Control

Well worth the read for those interested in understanding what cults are and what tactics they use to ensnare and control people.
