"Cult" is much misunderstood a maligned word ever.  It's used in the KJB Bible once.  I refer to the time the first Temple was destroyed and the Second built.  King Cyrus of Babylon, said to be a Messiah "the anointed one" said "The Jewish cult should be allowed to return to their homeland and rebuild their Temple.  Evidently cult refers to a religious group apparently separate from the main stream, but is it really.

kenljw · Answer

sub- actually means under, beneath: as subculture like the drug culture or the criminal culture.  The subculture actually feeds off the main culture and are not really a branches off.  A branch of science is engineering,  a branch of western religion is the Anabaptist, to baptize again, which became the Baptist, a branch of Hinduism is Buddhism, well not exactly, Buddhism is a rejection of Hinduism and the Karmic cycle, but there are branches.  A branch generally means a continuation keeping the same foundation or root.  When something actually comes about on it own and is self sufficient in thought and action it becomes a foundation, otherwise its an offshoot or contrary to what already is apparent in the world.
