According to Wikipedia, a cult is a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or by its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. And according to the Oxford dictionary, a cult is a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.
