Maybe Christianity is not a cult, but the cult. When I hear people call a group a cult, what they typically mean is that the group is a pale imitation of Christianity. Many Christians would likely take issue with this description because they don't want to be on the wrong side of the dirty word cult. But I personally don't think it's much of a problem if the person you worship is Jesus of Nazareth.
