RELIGION OR CULT?

When Does a Religion Become a Cult? When Does a Cult Become a Religion?
I think that religion and cults are closely related. However, there can be many
noticeable differences. In order for a religion to become a cult, it needs to develop
into a negative form of expression. Cults are often damaging to a person and any people
that are close to them. In order for a cult to become a religion, it needs to develop
into a positive form of expression. This cult to religion change is dependent on the
amount of people that follow it, the respect that it gets from others, and the results of
following it. 
In order for a religion to become a cult, it needs to have a negative impact on its
followers. Many times, people who are having trouble with their own lives will turn to
religion or cults in order to "find themselves." Many times these people will follow a
new religion, and as time goes on, more and more of these people will join a certain
religion. If the religion doesn't satisfy their needs, then they will break away and form
their own religion, which ends up becoming a cult. These cults have a negative effect on
the people that follow it. They feel that the other religions are not realistic or valid,
and they try to turn others toward their new-formed cult. When others see that the cult
members are out of the norm of the society, they form a negative opinion about them. This
negative feeling toward the cult is what causes a religion to become a cult.
In order for a cult to become a religion, it needs to have a positive effect on its
followers. The people who are in this cult need to get others to have a good opinion of
it. Also, they need to form a large following in order to show that their cult is widely
accepted in the society. The cult has to be something that doesn't show signs of being a
fad. If a cult is something that only reflects the beliefs of a society at that time, and
could be changed in the near future, then I don't think that it can become a religion.
This is true because many religions are set in stone and cannot, in any way, be changed
by its followers. To change the beliefs and structure of a cult would only make more
cults, which would then have to prove themselves to be legitimate.
