Nearly everything that successfully coordinates large groups of people has 'cultish' aspects.

The trick is to recognize when such patterns of intense synchronization are beneficial, and when they are abusive.

And a "cult" around an idea meritocracy means that most of the problems of cults won't happen, because decisions will get made on the merits, rather than on ideology.

It's a cult around the idea of meritocracy, which isn't necessarily the same as an actual meritocracy.
