A thought I've had is that I don't actually think the size of a group is what determines its cultishness.  Like I think people tend to think being smaller makes a group automatically more cultish, but for me, I think the much more distinguishing features are how much control the group tries to exert over other people's lives and how much of a binary 'us' vs 'them' mentality they promote.  I think large groups are just as capable of cultish behavior as small ones, and considerably wider in the scope of the harm they can cause.
