Ujm, we don’t find that yushke claimed divinity. The early accounts say that he prayed; god wouldn’t pray to himself.
Paul attributed divinity to him, but even this wasn’t formalized into christian doctrine until the council of nicea hundreds of years later.
Cults are “cultivated”, around charismatic yet dubious individuals who are interested in power, self gain, etc
Religions are organized movements which don’t require such a dynamic, although there have been many which did.
