They overlap many times, but there are plenty of differences.

Religion: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Judaism, Islam.
Cult: All those other things.

How is Hinduism a cult?

I don't think Traditional African or Traditional Chinese qualify as cults either.

Ancient mythologies that, for the most part, are no longer followed don't qualify as cults either.

Christianity as a whole is not a cult, but it comes in several variants that qualify as cults.

I remember hearing Bah'ii may qualify, but I don't know much about them.

Rastafarianism, at its core, is certainly a cult.

Islam isn't a cult, but again, some variants may qualify.
