A cult is an organisation that has a set of beliefs in which the cult is viewed as being the one true organization, everyone else is wrong. Usually they promote some kind of religious belief - usually made up by themself - but not always, some cults can be athiest, such as Amway. Usually members have black-and-white thinking, and see their organization as being infaliable. Members of a cult can be known as followers. Followers will obay the cult leaders instructions and believe the propaganda without needing to verify it with much proof. They are usually superstitious. Cult members can be of average intelligence. When people wonder about how a cult works, they usually focus on what the leader is doing. Usually the leader is just a charasmatic con-artist. The real mechanics of how a cult works can be understood by focusing on the psychology of the follower.
