ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cult

A cult is a group of people who have extreme beliefs and follow a leader very closely. They often have their own way of thinking and living that is very different from what most other people think and do. They might like to dress the same or even speak their own language. In cults, people usually don't question the leader's decisions or question why they are asked to do something because they want to please the leader and stay a part of the group.
