What would constitute a "cult" though? I think it's just a slur to associate someone or a group to some undesirable definitions, none of which might be true. As an example, Christianity might call all other religions cultish, but itself operates in the same manner, so the label is relative as to how it is applied. Politics is much the same, but invariably, there is a potential truth which is lost when it's obfuscated in this manner. The alarmists and tabloids have a field day with these empty distinctions and the true definitions are lost.
