Had Ambrose Bierce defined "cult" in his Devil's Dictionary, I'm sure he would have said something along the line of, but much more clever than, "Any religious group not the speaker's own."
I've noticed that the more fundamentalist and the more cult-like, in the dictionary sense, a group is, the more they like to talk about
other groups being "cults."
