The term 'cult' is just another term for 'sect'. There are at least eight dictionary definitions of the term 'cult'. Apparently, the United States does not have a classification for cults in its legal system. >From what I've read, no one has as yet been able to define 'cult' in any meaningful way. However, it should be pointed out that the idea of 'brainwashing' or 'mind control, vis a vis, 'cults' has almost been totally discredited.
