Abstract

There is no universally agreed definition of the word "cult"; it is only rarely used as a self-description and does not refer to any particular belief system. Since the 1920s, the word "cult" has most commonly been used to designate a minority religious group whose beliefs and practices an outside observer deems dangerous or strange.
