Well, not singularitarianism alone, because it is certainly just a subset of a belief system, but the prescriptive side of that culture is known as CFAR[1], I believe, where Yudkowsky plays a role.

> You can define things however you want.

Not how I want, but how academics who study religion define them.

> What are some other cults, aside from the ones I would agree to be cults (Scientology and such). What are some other religions aside from the ones I would agree to be religions (Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and such...)

A notable one (that has so far taken many forms) is New Age. It is related to another called theosophy (of the Theosophical Society).
