I guess it depends how you were brought up, if it was in any of these, and how much damage you feel it did to you or others. And how you rationalise that in your head.
Some are state-sanctioned, or hold a status that bleeds through into history and culture. So you can hold and live by elements of some, as they underpin the laws of countries and the informal societal rules we are sometimes bound by.

* a Cult?
* a Sect?
Thanks!

And of course -
A cult is a small unpopular religion.
A religion is a large unpopular cult. 😁
