What is a cult?

Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five 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 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds and recruit people

5.  Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
