Cults often have some secret teachings that are not talked about until they've already got you dedicated/forced to following their doctrines. Muslims, hindus, jews and christians are open to discussing anything that their holy books say. On the other hand, you'll never hear a scientologist talk about soul filled volcanoes. Another thing about cults is that they have no shame in going after children.
Cults are usually defined as a small group of people that follow a set of doctrines, but is there something more that makes a cult a cult? When do you think that a cult becomes a religion? (if ever)
