First of all, translating from one language to another isn't like a jigsaw puzzle where everything fits. No, it's far from it. You translate based on the context of the sentence, line, paragraph, or whatever it is that you're translating. Almost half of the time, you never get to use the exact translation because the final product won't fit the context of the story. As such, it's within the translator's discretion as to what word to use that fits the context the best. One example is the use of the English articles A, An, and The. Almost all of the time, translating a line from Japanese won't contain these articles because that's just how Japanese grammar works. So the English translator will have to insert these articles whenever necessary. Same goes for this situation. The word "cult" might not be appropriate to use in the context of KonoSuba because that may not be what the author intended for the group to become even if it's a possible translation from the original Japanese word. Using the "official" translation of Yen Press is hardly convincing because they employ too much freedom in translating that sometimes, their translation hardly fits the context. Sure, when it comes to grammar, they are spot on. But when it comes to names, it's a hit-or-miss scenario.
