A related question:
What is the difference between an religion and a cult?
Personally, I don't see any differences.
A cult is a group of 8 people that believe absurd bullshit.  A religion is a larger group of people that believe absurd bullshit.

I like that!  See!  Size matters!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Social acceptance, which is itself dependent on size and influence.  So basically, a small, despised religion is a cult and a large, successful cult is a religion.
