| If a religion insists, or encourages, its members to generally associate with other people who also belong to it, would you consider it a cult? | |

| Yes because it's attempting to isolate you. One of the main warning signs. | |

| I think it takes more than that to warrant the label, "cult." | |

Basically. Jews are encouraged to live, work and marry inside of their religion too....doesn't necessarily mean it's a cult. Heaven's Gate.....that's a "cult". | |

| It's a step in the "cult" direction. It's one of the reasons I consider so many of the leftist secular movements to be very cult-like.  My faith encourages me to mingle with others different from me. I interact with a lot of unbelievers.  | |
