    At that time in that region there were a lot of cults. It’s very likely that the Jesus figure from the bible is an amalgamation of multiple cult leaders from that period.

      Of course, by the definition of cult used at that time all monotheistic and henotheistic religions are cults.

        Yes they are. The only difference between a cult and a religion is the number of followers.
