The word “cult” is typically considered pejorative. And it seems the groups themselves tend to evolve into different archetypes. From destructive to doomsday cults to political and polygamist cults, and more. They all have varying definitions when considering pop culture, academia or whichever lens someone chooses to view a cult through.
