[quote]The term “cult” refers most often to a group of people with usually atypical beliefs living in relative isolation from the world. They tend to centralize around one charismatic person—the cult leader—who orders the beliefs, behaviors, and customs of all the other members. Many cults stand in as de facto new religions for their followers, but some are irreligious in nature.[/quote]
Authoritarian control: a worshipful attitude toward the group’s authoritarian leader.
Isolation from society: adherents work hard to isolate them from family members and friends. This helps fulfill the mind control aspirations of the leader. It also creates a hive mind
Veneration of a single individual: Charismatic leaders are often at the center of most cults
