The things that would make me a good fit for a cult are the same things that make me a bad fit for a regular religion.  Regular religion requires one to play the requisite mind games of holding on to all these strange and magical beliefs largely by yourself.  A cult you are in close enough contact that they are actively brainwashing you.  I could probably believe anything if I was being brainwashed continuously, at least twice a week or more.  There’s also the issue of community and hospitality, religion nowadays doesn’t have it but a cult usually does.
