The difference between a religion and a cult is social acceptance.
"Cult" gets a bad wrap, honestly. Literally anything regularly involving more than one person can be cult. Having weekly brunch? Cult. Weekends hanging out in a basement playing games? Cult. The group smoke break by the dumpster? Cult. The bunch of kids playing everyday at recess? Cult. The real difference is zealotry (Edit: and/or institution).
