The only difference between a religion and a cult is time
The difference is sincerity.
I’ve heard the distinction described as “it’s a cult when the founder is still around making stuff up, it becomes a religion after he dies and his followers are left to continue doing that in his name.”
Number of followers helps too.
I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it.
