So if I claimed to be God, and found a bunch of nitwits that believed me and did not harass any of them when leaving or forced them to separate or distance themselves from their families I am not a cult leader?

I think you need to refine your definition.

You indicate that you do not take your own made-up religion seriously. I think your imaginary philosphy *could* be considered a religion.

I’ve thought about this myself and basically came to the same conclusion as GraceG did.

People use the word “cult” to insult groups that they don’t support, but I think it must have a much narrower meaning.

For example: people call AA a “cult” but that is silly. One can come or go as one pleases, clearly that is not a cult.
