The definition of the cult is "using religion and other cultural formation of anti-social doctrine, and to others as a means of spiritual control, and as extremist groups against social security." Generally speaking, the cult has the characteristics of adoring the founder of a religion, fabricating heresy, mind control, defrauding money, secret association, impairing society.

It is a threat to national security and social stability.Finally, this article gave some basic laws based on the discussion and analysis. This paper concluded that: Chinese society is in transition. The government and the community are remodeling. Various trends of thought will stage performances. There will be various social ills.

Therefore, we should constantly improve the legal system, strengthen the ideological construction, popularize scientific knowledge, strict social management according to the development of the situation.
