And remember, in the early stages of Christianity, the Romans viewed it as a cult. Now it is a mainstream religion. As it has been posted above, there are various views on the definition of a cult even amongst the same religion. Some say Catholics are the original cult, others say Mormons are a cult and they bot profess being mainstream churches. Don't forget Jehovah's Witnesses etc etc. Much of it is as the Jedi would say "From a certain point of view" (sorry had to throw in a star wars moment)
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Every church broke off from some other belief system. So to my mind they (at least at one time or another) are cults.

I think that as the word and concept of cults originated in the 1920's when all the main stream religions were well established, the point is mute.
