Agreed.  We are actually several subcommunities who agree at
most that human behavior is deserving of study and is the subject
of practical change.

To me, a cult means something like that Jim Jones group that
committed mass suicide in Guyana, or the Heaven's Gate group
that committed suicide when they thought the comet was the
Mother Ship.
