This is an issue that has not been resolved and really needs to.
"Cult" is a subjective term that can apply to any group, depending on which group or individual you ask - inclusion of groups in the template is contentious, since the term, as used by the Chtistian countercult movement, the anti-cult movement, and assorted "specialists" is usually used in a negative context.
"Cult" has also been used historically
Cult and NRMs are not interchangeable terms
The template should be renamed "New religious movements" and all references to cult should be moved to a separate template (or templates, since the definition varies so vastly)
Note there are problems with organising anything under the term "cult" per se so I wouldn't recommend creating a new template under that name, see some recent historyhere.HelenOnline07:24, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
