is longevity/timespan the only thing that distinguishes cults from widely recognized religious groups?
>>18407520Yes. Is a religion older than 200 years? It's a religion. Is it younger than 200 years? It's a cult. That's the #1 distinguishing factor.
>>18407520Religions are mainstream and institutionalized while cults are secretive and try to isolate their members from society
Truth distinguishes them.
