How do we define a cult?
"There's no shame calling a dead man, dead, "
Quote:
The phrase "there's no shame in calling a dead man dead" is attributed to Shakespeare in his play "Othello," where the character Iago says it, highlighting the idea of accepting reality and not trying to sugarcoat the truth about someone's death.

Cult is a lay term for a group perceived as requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant outside the norms of society. Such groups are typically perceived as being led by a charismatic leader who tightly controls its members. (1)

Cult of reason
The Cult of Reason (French: Culte de la Raison)[note 1] was France's first established state-sponsored atheistic religion, intended as a replacement for Roman Catholicism during the French Revolution. After holding sway for barely a year, in 1794 it was officially replaced by the rival deistic Cult of the Supreme Being, promoted by Robespierre.[1][2][3][4] Both cults were officially banned in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte with his Law on Cults of 18 Germinal, Year X.[5]
