Don't read too much into it.

He's only using "cult" as a provocative term to describe a tribe of fans who passionately like a particular brand. Nobody's going to be committing human sacrifices or burning heretics on behalf of Mr Money Mustache any time soon.

In all fairness, I do think it's a bit more than that although I think it's mostly harmless if not positive in this particular case. A fair number of people do feel the need to jump into systems/philosophies/brands with both feet whether it's MMM or GTD. Personally, I am more the pick and choose useful ideas from here and there sort, but if committing wholeheartedly is what someone has to do develop better spending habits I have trouble finding a lot of fault with that.
