Religion, that is more mainstream, as is following a certain religion or certain preachers, which many reasonable people do. I deem it less blatantly offensive to put it that way.
That gets us into the discussion about are all religions cults but we base it on the size of the group of believers.
Where I (try) to make a distinction in my mind is are the followers following the person who leads or the beliefs of the group.
Christianity is so far removed from Jesus Christ that the followers *claim* to be following him but really just follow how they interpret his beliefs. 2000 years ago I'd put it in the cult category with the following of one person.
Trumpism seems to be based on believing in Trump and that Trump is right and is the only one who can solve the "problems".

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
