RE: BACKWARDS WORLD: Today diversity instead means conformity...

Really CULT and RELIGION only have two differences.

1. They become accepted by the culture/government.
2. They are larger and that is likely why number 1 happened.

Otherwise, I see no distinct difference between the word CULT and RELIGION. In fact, virtually every religion I am aware of started out considered a CULT.

I see a cult as an interest followed with an exaggerated zeal. It can for be anything: both religious or not.

If you study history that actually describes the early days of virtually every religion. :) They actually were often called a CULT for some time.
