1: A term any arrogant
religious bigot would give to any other sects inside the religion
Ex: The Muslim Community often give the term "cult" to the ahamdiyya islamic movement (the Ahmadiyya movement is actually the only Islamic sect who has not have any cases of mass genocide or extremism, and they are the most inclusive Islamic sect as well unlike the Sunnis or Shias, who are the ones who are always at war.
Ex: The Christian community gives the term "cult" to Mormons (who were cucks to begin with) and even the Roman Catholics (as it redeemed it self to be more inclusive and
Progressives, which was what
Christianity was supposed to be in the first place)
2: The actual term is that of a minor local gathering who does not follow a specific text and they are often really sketchy and are the one poisoning the concept of religions.
Ex: The KKK
Christians talking about Muslims: "We must
eradicate that cult." Muslims talking about the Ahmadiyya movement: "We must eliminate those pretenders!"
Me: "STFU none of you get to decide what is
classified as a cult
