Is the Soka Gakkai a Cult?

Defining what to call a cult usually involves a fair bit of hairsplitting and gray areas. Some people have called Soka Gakkai but, as I said, it depends on how broadly or narrowly you define it.

RickRoss.com has information on cults and archives of various groups described as cults. Look through their news clippings on the group and decide for yourself.
