How do you know you are not already in one?

Hi......Well since I left religion all together, which cult would I be part of?
So true!There appears to be an implicit assumption that you shouldn't be in a cult. So I'd think I'd like to know: Why are cults bad?
And if there are so many out there... then how do you know there are so many out there? And why are there so many of them (if they are bad)?
Looks like @oldbadger beat me to the obvious questions.
I'll just add that I've heard there is some sort of movie-going cult and that they watch a collection of movies known as "Cult Classics". (I'm pretty sure there's an inside group that understands the truth of these films and an outside group that doesn't).
Use the BITE model:There's a lot of cults out there. What makes a cult? What are the signs? What should you look out for?

^^^ I’m glad you are my friend. ^^^So true!
Let's think of a group of folks who we don't think much of, and then we can mangle their reputation by injecting a fat amount of prejudice in to many people by the use of 'hatchet' words:-
Faction?
Cliche?
Cult?
etc.........
I despise the word cult, mistrust the folks who brand with it, empathise with victims and pity the sheep who react to it.

Language changes with time, with 'fashions'.If one was in a cult, would it automatically mean it (the faith/religion) cannot be true?
Good question....If one was in a cult, would it automatically mean it (the faith/religion) cannot be true?
