Religion is defined as socially acceptable cultic duties performed for gods, involving belief in supernatural beings and unified systems of beliefs and practices related to sacred things. In contrast, a cult is a small group with a shared commitment to an extreme ideology and embedded in a charismatic leader, typically being more closed off than religions and not allowing disagreement or freedom to leave. A key difference is that religions are more open, allow questioning, and let people freely associate outside the group.
