A cult is how a religions organization is organized and what it demands from its adherents - it is not a qualifier on how nutty their theology is.

A cult can form around a very mainstream theology.

A rather wacky theology can form an organization that is rather mainstream in its organization and treatment of its adherents.

10% is pretty mainstream/standard.

100% is pure cult.
