Survivor of a cult does not necessarily mean that someone joined a cult themselves. Kids escaping environment they were born in may be survivors of a cult. People with spouses who joined a cult may be survivors. Environments may change, leaving a mainstream church in a specific area may mean leaving a cult. Etc. Don't look down on them unless you know all the details.

In fairness, I think it's hard to environmentally fall into "several" cults. If there are several, chances are high that perhaps even a majority were entered into voluntarily. I don't mean this as a dig on the OP.

Sure, _one_ cult, but several?
Mom being in the Shining Path and Dad in Heaven's Gate sounds like it would make for rather awkward dinners.

You're using extreme examples of cults. Parents getting too much into Catholicism may be a seen as a cult. A group going full hippie may be seen as a cult. If it badly impacts your environment and you can't easily leave it, I'm not going to dispute the label.
