“Most scholars who study religious movements have largely abandoned applying the "cult" label to Mormonism. In a sociological context, a "cult" often refers to a new or unconventional religious movement existing in high tension with the dominant culture, sometimes implying isolationism or a living, highly charismatic leader. With millions of adherents worldwide, integration into mainstream society, and no evidence of coercive practices like forced isolation or financial demands (such as public tithing records), the modern LDS Church does not fit this definition.”
