A cult is group of people who gather to share and honor something they believe in, which seems to irk the intolerant and persnickety folks heck bent on brokering your salvation according to their agenda.
Heck yeah........I think it's truly cool to watch cult movies - like Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Repo Man, or any number of the John Waters flicks - particularly those starring Divine. What about the folks who are mad about Monty Python -- it's all a matter of perspective. Tolerance is the key, and it's the intolerant who give the word "cult" a negative connotation.

An organized belief held by a small minority is a cult, one held by a majority is a religion, one held by all is fact.
FSM = Cult (see not evil)
Christianity = Religion
Math = Fact

A "religion" is a "cult" with more real estate.
