Sure. But being non-Christian is not the same thing as being in a cult, which is the characterization I'm disputing.

I'm sorry that I didn't communicate more clearly. You are certainly right. Hinduism is hardly a cult, for instance.
I think that some groups start out as cults, and then grow out of that status. Christianity itself might fit into that catorgory. I'd also point to LDS/Mormans as another example.
