If only one person holds a set of spiritual beliefs... [View all]
...they are certifiably insane.
If a hundred people share the spiritual beliefs, they are a cult.
If two hundred people share the spiritual beliefs, they are a church.
If ten thousand people share the spiritual beliefs, they are a movement.
If a hundred thousand people share the spiritual beliefs, they are a sect.
If a million people share the spiritual beliefs, they are an organized religion.
If billions of people share the spiritual beliefs, those beliefs then become a default position.
The warning here is that there may be no correlation between the above categorization and the validity of the beliefs held. Majority fallacy applies here.
