Pejorative opinions about the nature of social groupings abound; that's the nature of original sin. Hate of antipathetic and even entirely neutral social identity groups from politics, to race, wealth status etc are the normal way of the human race. Without God the futility of mankind only increases.
Defining very intense social groups as a cult is customary. Farming may be a cult, if one goes on the Miriam Webster footing. "Cult, which shares an origin with culture and cultivate, comes from the Latin cultus, a noun with meanings ranging from "tilling, cultivation". There are other etymologies including French and meanings such as adopt, adore, worship. I tend to understand it as a sub-culture of a small scale.
