Seems to me cult is an unnecessarily complicated term compared to calling it heresy or false teaching, which would by far be more precise and simple by comparison of using a term rife with varying definitions.
I'm aware of the use of cult in Christianity and general orthodoxy is a term also holding ambiguity, since Trinitarianism is only popular due to persistent argument to its truth, though there are equally compelling teachings in the form of Modalism or Unitarianism.
I don't claim to be a Christian, but I don't make these claims without some backing in basic facts and knowledge, especially as a student of religion and philosophy.
