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.

Is Edgar Cayce a cult?

No, not if you by "cult" you mean a psuedo-religious organization that holds its members captive. Edgar Cayce had a small following in his time, but there was no real organization or anything like that. I believe they had a small "church" in Virginia Beach, but no one lived there or was forced to live/work there. So no, not a cult like say Scientology.


Is the Soka Gakkai a Cult?

Defining what to call a cult usually involves a fair bit of hairsplitting and gray areas. Some people have called Soka Gakkai but, as I said, it depends on how broadly or narrowly you define it. RickRoss.com has information on cults and archives of various groups described as cults. Look through their news clippings on the group and decide for yourself.
