Meanings of the Word 'Cult'
Cultivation
The term 'cult' is a cognate of the term 'cultivation'. In the broadest and non-negative sense a cult is any group who participate in cultivation of something, with that thing being seen as holy by the members of the group. This meaning of the word is used by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches to describe the public veneration of saints.
This meaning of the word 'cult' isn't really what people think when think of 'cults' and one shouldn't conflate this meaning with other meaning.
