Interesting. At first I thought this was a pedantic distinction but now I'm getting it:
Cliques are exclusive and dispassionate - your will keeps you in a clique. Cults are inclusive and coercive, their will keeps you in the cult.
Are there any books one can read about this distinction? Seems like you could arrive at some pretty interesting conclusions if you talk this out.
