Well, it has been outlawed by China’s government since they didn’t like that the religion actively promoted civil political engagement and simply doing good.
The main difference between a cult and a religion is that the cult’s founder isn’t dead yet. Falun Gong’s founder is Li Hongzhi, who is alive but is around 72 years old so it’ll probably make the transition to religion relatively soon.
