A gang is a group of criminals or hoodlums who band together for mutual protection and profit.
A cult is a religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.

My opinion of the difference between a gang and a cult is anyone can join a cult if you are willing to adopt their beliefs and habits, but a gang has to want you to join.

A gang is a group of people who watch over and protect each other, they also get into trouble with the law, and fight other gangs if they come into there territory.
A cult is a group of people who come together to worship one thing or other and they keep to themselves and what they believe.

A cult usually has religion ideology to it. A gang is just a group of thugs who feel some kind of power in a group but are nothing as an individual

A gang on the whole they will exclude others... for different reasons. work gangs will try and get higher wages, street gangs will try and keep others from joing them.
A cult is a group that will try to get more members by inticing them in with little rewards, mentally and physically.

A gang gets together for evil reasons to make unjust profit.
A cult is inspired by a man who wants to be worshipped.
Has secret meetings and you cannot leave his cult.
He becomes the object of their worship.
Technically a cult has to have a living human leader.
Who says he has been established by God. God talks only to him. In other words a fantical Relgious leader.

The snooty people join cults. Most gangs don't usually pass around the chicks.

A Gang is a group of individuals who share a common identity and, in current usage, refers to those who engage in criminal activities, whereas a cult is a cohesive group of people devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream, sometimes reaching the point of a taboo.

A gang just implies a group of people bonded by security or gain. Cult implies they are bonded more by common beliefs or interests.
