Why do people not realise that they have joined a cult?
The sect does not reveal itself for what it is, at least in the beginning, it enters the social context disguised as something else. (Therapeutic or self-help group, educational, ecological, etc.)
To function, the group needs a strongly believing and motivated base, one that does not suspect it is in a cult.
Absolute trust and adherence to the group's values makes the follower a perfect promoter, the follower promotes the sect, does marketing..
is an effective communication strategy and is completely free.
The sect member reviews his or her life on the basis of the new values proposed by the group, consequently he or she will not have the feeling of having been indoctrinated..
and will continue to think that he or she has chosen freely, that he or she has finally found 'a path', satisfying answers. He will call it "karma", "destiny", "path".
The reality is that the cult has subtly entered his life and chosen for him.

I think there are many types of sects and not all of them are connected with a spiritual background. All that is needed is an underlying ideology that becomes all-encompassing, that rises above individuals. One trait they all have in common is the non-acceptance of criticism.
Those who are critical are attacked, ridiculed and marginalised.
