Dark Secrets Of The Occult - The Occult Revival Documentary - World History Movies A cult is a spiritual or social team with socially devious or unique ideas and methods. However, whether any particular group's ideas and practices are adequately devious or unique is typically uncertain, therefore making an accurate definition troublesome. In the English speaking globe, the word often carries derogatory undertones, yet in various other European languages, it is used as English-speakers utilize the word "faith", often causing complication for English-speakers reading material equated from various other languages. The word "cult" has constantly been debatable because it is (in a pejorative feeling) took into consideration a subjective term, used as an ad hominem assault against groups with varying teachings or techniques, which lacks a clear or constant definition.
