As I said
As I said, every religion can be defined as a cult by definition. There is an old saying that the pot is calling the stove black, or if the shoe fits wear it. Well the shoe fits so every religion can wear it.Try definition #2 directly under the one you got from Google:
"a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister."
That's Mormonism. Relative to Christianity as a whole, you're a small group whose beliefs and practices are strange (not sure about sinister; you'd probably find a wide variety of views on that question across Christianity).
There's also another definition of cult that you might have missed:
"a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing."
Some people (e.g., me) would probably see LDS veneration of Joseph Smith as an example of this.
