Taken to extremes, I feel anything can be a cult. I definitely identify with a lot of Ayn Rand's objectivist writings. I find them very interesting. But it's not my whole life, and I don't feel the need to force others to follow this path. So for me, it doesn't feel cult-like.

Objectivism was a philosophy espoused by Ayn Rand and I guess people who follow it could be said to be "cultist" but I think no more than anyone who follows any other specific philosophy. I believe that it was based on a ethical approach to life; but that's too simplistic. See the attached.

if its a cult then you can take all religions that are made and call them cults too but if that is a religion you stated then i have no idea but at least keep in mind all religions where once called cults to the other people of the world even christianity was a cult before

There are so many things that could be labeled "Objectivism" that you will need to provide a reference if this question is to be meaningful.

This meets the minimum criteria for being a cult.

It's cultish, but it isn't a cult because it's not religious in nature.
