A cult is a small group of people who follow their own religious beliefs. The leader of the cult is the leader who makes and enforces the rules of the cult.
Manson would be the first to deny he was the leader of a cult. It sounded much cozier as 'The Family'. But it was without a doubt a cult. His followers were given the standard cult initiation. They were stripped of their worldly possessions, separated from the real world including their families, preached at 24/7, until they could barely think for themselves. All of this is classic brainwashing techniques.
Well, honey, the leader of a cult is typically referred to as a cult leader. I mean, it's not rocket science. They're the one calling the shots and brainwashing their followers, so that title seems pretty fitting to me. Just watch out for those charismatic manipulators, they can be a real piece of work.
