Is religion the same as a cult?

Question

Answer

i always say the only difference between a religion and a cult is whether the “leader” is alive or dead

Answer

By definition, technically yes. However, I feel that the word 'cult' usually refers to a more hateful group than what you see in most religions.

Answer

Having been a member of both and now none, I can tell you the biggest difference is that a religion feels like an addition to your life and a cult feels like your entire life... 
One feels like an empowerment tool to go home and live your best life and the other feels like you’re trapped in a cage... with the illusion of being “free”. It’s hard to explain.

Answer

You can have religion without a cult, but you cannot have a cult without religion/some kind of worship of a person.
