What's the difference between a religion and a cult?

What classification would any of you apply to Falun Gong/Dafa?
Cult!!! I remember flipping through a book on the Falun Gong and there was a chapter dedicated to the leader and his beliefs on extraterestrials and the like.

To sum it all up, Master Li beleives that the Earth has been through (if I remember correctly) 78 apocalypses (the galaxy has only gone through 7 or 8 itself). After each apocalypse human civilization leeches off of whatever remaining technology was left. One of these human inventions: the moon.

He also believes that world governments are in cahoots with extraterrestrials and different nations are responsible for the breakdown of man's connection with god in that respect. The US was the vanguard of culture, Japan has technology... Spain was mixed-races. Not a big fan of "racial impurity" and homosexuality.

It's a big injoke between me and my friends (hence my screenname). That's not to say that I condone what the government of China does to them. Sure its awful they get tortured and beaten but frankly, who hasn't China done that too? For the Falun Gong to bank on that (in part) for membership is appalling.
