Some people in the comments said "yes, a church." No, churches aren't cults. I refer to my upbringing, which was quite extreme, as a borderline cult, but even that wasn't 'really' a cult. Cults are a dangerous and unique phenomenon and churches are quite harmless by comparison.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1313265054356103169 …
I feel pretty clear on what cults are. I agree some churches fit the definition, but it seems very unlikely that people who just went to church as kids were subject to the same thing as my friends who are recovering from the trauma of the little isolated cult they escaped.
