Cultism refers to the ideological tendency towards cults. Cults are usually defined in some sort of way as being organisations which exert an unhealthy and abusive amount of control over their members.

Personality

Weird and not to be let around kids. Seriously, don't do let him around them. Wait, this isn't Epsteinism...

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.

B.I.T.E. model

B.I.T.E. is an acronym for the four characteristics which according to the mental health counselor define what a cult is.[1][2] The B.I.T.E. model can generally be said to be what most people think when they think of the word 'cult'.

B.I.T.E. stands for[1]

  • Behaviour control: The organisation takes control over its members' physical activity.
  • Information control: The organisation takes control over its members' source of information.
  • Thought control: The organisation takes control what its members can and cannot think.
  • Emotional control: The organisation takes control over what its members can and cannot feel.


Cult of Personality

Another meaning of the term 'cult' is found within the term 'cult of personality', which is a practice utilized by autocratic political regimes. The term means worship of a certain individual (usually the current ruler or one of the founders of the regime).

Frenemies

  • Marxism–Leninism–Maoism - The other kind of MLM, also based! Denies he's me and pretends to hate me, though.
  • Anti-Japaneseism - I like your idea of overthrowing the Japanese government. It's just my methods are a little more "direct" Some of you guys are alright though, don't go to the subway tommorow.
  • Pagan Theocracy - I like you, your praxis and your tales, but you don't go far enough. Why just sacrifice animals in the occasional ritual blood sacrifice when you could mass-sacrifice thousands. (But your Aztec counter-parts were my greatest inspiration.)
  • Christian Democracy - I do occasionally adopt your religion, but Jesus Christ some of you absolutely despise us!

Foes

  • Theocracies - Ew, organized religions with no religious freedom.
  • Dengism - OK I'm a cult, and? Aren't we different? We both like brainwashing!
  • State Atheism - Really hate me.
