A cult is a cult rather than a religion because: -It is based on crap someone made up knowing it was crap, rather than personal belief. -They scam people -They can be dangerous to your physical, social, spiritual and mental health. -It has no origins apart from a concept someone came up with one day. -Cults spread by doorknocking, religion spreads by example (you could argue it is spread by force but as if people would believe something simply because they are threatenned they have to.) Religions: Christianity, Judaism,Islam,Hinduism etc. Cults: Jehovahs Witnesses, Scientologists, Emoism etc. Philosophies: Budhism, Confucianism, etc.

Deism was the religion that appealed to the educated classes of America during the eighteenth century. This apparently included a number of the Founding Fathers. Deism was a religion of the Enlightenment and acknowledges that there was a creator God, but says that after creating the world he took no further interest in his creation, thereby repudiating most of the Bible. This could be called a religion of reason, but it was not the cult properly known as the Religion of Reason.The Cult of Reason arose in France after the French Revolution as a reaction to the Roman Catholic Church. Its roots were no doubt in the Enlightenment that preceded. As it denied the existence of gods, it could be considered atheistic but its premise was opposition to religion rather than reasoned non-belief. This cult was largely limited to France and had no appeal to the aristocracy nor to the educated classes of America.The excesses of the French Revolution brought a strong reaction that not only meant a repudiation of the Religion of Reason but also an end to the Enlightenment, even in America.
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.
A small religious community is typically referred to as a cult or sect.

Neither. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is no more a cult than any other religion. It is not typically regarded as 'mainstream', but there is nothing about the conduct of the Church or it's members that is cause to say it is a cult or 'sick'.
