Cults have certain characteristics that go between all cults. These include the following:
-Being told not to read or comsume books or media that are counter to the organization's point of view. In all religions you need to have freedom to examine that religion and contrast and compare other religions to
have your group not called a cult. Cults are insular, rather than being open to criticism.
My dad has a book he gave me going in depth on the many cults within America and other cultures. One thing I find common about many is that they often discourage the reading of the bible by shifting toward their own documents and or books of faith.
Cults and Churches (in general these days) tend to bend their standards to meet societies acceptances of sin -- like many believers do as they go into work and comply with human resource department politically correct policies and procedures -- progressing further from Gods unchanged standards since the inception of time.
Today I would say the most dangerous cults are public education, Universities, Governments, and elite organizations lead by evil such as the World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, United Nations, NATO, and more. Money in it of itself has become a sense of worship.
In my humble opinion, AI will be the the one that too many lost souls will gravitate toward. We are already seeing too many young adults seeking spirituality and finding it within the guidance of "influencers" -- man.

Both cults.
All we need is the bible. My family and I are reading the book of John after dinner each evening .. so much wisdom to be found by Gods word alone.
