Cult - a closed group or religious sect devoted excessively to one idea or person; an unothodox or false religion
Culture - growing, cultivated organisms or social community; refinement
A cult is narrowing and hierarchical. A culture is expanding and communal.
Cults point the finger outward and find everyone else evil and advise either isolation or evangelism to cleanse it. Cultures hand everyone some seeds and a hoe and sends them out to the garden together.
Cults are ultimately about death. Cultures are about life.
Evangelical Christianity is a cult. Liberalism is a culture.
