Ok then, you just took a very broad definition of the word cult. I guess I'll give you credit, since you are technically correct, but the word cult has a very negative connotation attached to it, so I'm assuming you called all religions cults to get some sort of response. So with your broad definition of what a cult is, it is technically safe to call atheism a cult as well.

Well technically humans are all in a cult as well as they all are humans, technically a cult is just a group of similar people, same with community, it's just the connotation of cults are negative creepy mysterious people doing rituals, wearing matching outfits, although when you think about it, eating biscuits and wine to symbolize eating your saviour's flesh and blood...
And the not eating meat from a animal without certain feet... And starving yourself, and praying in a certain direction, and covering your females complete body.... And believing a guy back in the time of the roman empire, came to north America, which wasn't discovered yet, and was inhabitated by indigenous people whose religions and limited records showed none of this....
Hindu has too many gods for me to even satire, and Buddhism.... Eh... I won't go over the lesser known or dead religions, but they have pretty silly stuff too...
At least the cult of cthulhu had more tentacle rape in their armageddon views.
I wasn't supposed to get into this but the philosophical cynical and analytical sides of me drew me in.
