WHAT DOES CULTLIKE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cultlike

Cult

In the sociological classifications of religious movements, a cult is a religious or other social group with deviant and novel beliefs and practices. However, whether any particular group's beliefs and practices are sufficiently deviant or novel enough is often unclear, and thus establishing a precise definition based on these criteria is problematic. The English word often carries derogatory connotations and is used selectively by proponents of "mind control" theory. Usage of the word has been controversial. One reason is that the word "cult" is considered a subjective term, used as an ad hominem attack against groups with simply differing doctrines or practices, and without a clear or consistent definition. Beginning in the 1930s cults became the object of sociological study in the context of the study of religious behavior. Certain groups have been defined as "cults" and criticized and opposed by the Christian countercult movement for their unorthodox beliefs; and since the 1970s by the secular anti-cult movement, partly motivated in reaction to acts of violence committed by members of some groups.
