When Rick Perry was asked if he agrees with his supporter Pastor Robert Jefress' opinion that Mormonism is a cult, Rick Perry responded by simply saying "No." He has not layed out his specific thoughts and opinions about Mormons, so about all we know is that he does not consider Mormonism to be a cult.
Aree mormans really cults?
The definition of cult is "a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc." or "a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist". Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons) do not consider themselves to be a cult. They are often considered a cult because they all venerate and worship Jesus Christ, and because they are considered 'false and unorthodox' to the general public. However, most groups considered to be cults are very secretive and not trusting of outsiders. This is not true of Mormons. Mormons are very open and desire to share their faith with all (this is why they send missionaries around the world). They invite anyone interested to ask questions and learn about their beliefs. They do not live in secluded 'compounds', but live and participate in mainstream society.

What are the difference between mainstream religions and cults?
Great question. Here is the definition of "cult" from the Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary--1: formal religious veneration : worship2:a system of religious beliefs and ritual ; also : its body of adherents3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious ; also : its body of adherentsSo any religion can be considered a cult but in popular usage, "cult" has definition #3 above. Then it gets very subjective. For example, Christianity is the largest religion in the world but when it started, the religious establishment considered it "unorthodox or spurious". Debates rage over whether certain religions such as the Scientologists or the Mormons are a "cult" or a "mainstream religion". Some religions would consider any religion that is not itself a "cult".So there is no "official" division between "cult" and "mainstream religion"--this is an entirely subjective opinion.Certain "mainstream religions" are in my own personal opinion quite spurious or false, but are not considered "cults".
