When someone creates a cult, they never - and I do mean NEVER - call it a cult if they truly believe in it. If you believe Kevin is an enlightened being, then that's a belief. And if you want to gather people who believe in that same idea, then that makes you a group faith. If you have rules, regulations, rituals, etc., then that makes you a religion.

If you and your friend are going to start creating group faith or a religion, don't call it a cult, because that not only shows that you don't truly believe what you're preaching, but it scares off anyone who believes that Kevin is enlightened from joining your group.
