Cult refers to a  group that professes great devotion to some person and follows that person almost without question; cult members are typically victimized by their leaders in various ways.

Moreover, a Cult refers to  a group typically characterized by (1) distinctive ritual and beliefs related to its devotion to a god or a person, (2) isolation from the surrounding "evil" culture, and (3) a charismatic leader.

Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five (5) characteristics:
1. It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
2. It forms an elitist totalitarian society
3. Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma
4. It believes that "the end justifies the means" in order to solicit funds and recruit people
5. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society

Cult is also called Newreligious movement.
