I think 'Cult' = 'Tribe' as described by Seth Godin.

A better summary describing tribes. https://blog.12min.com/tribes-summary-seth-godin/

To answer OP, you can't 'Join' a tribe. (see link above that expains why)

In a tribe you don't neccesarily have to blindly follow leadership. Cult means you accept their values as-is,no questions allowed.
