If this were true then you would have defined cultus as meaning "tended, cultivated", the past participle of colere, meaning to till. The connotation of worship is a later addition to the word.
Of course, you'd also have meant "companion" when you wrote society as the now common sense of the term didn't come into existence until the 17th century and by "traditionalist" you would presumably have meant someone who handed things over or surrendered to another person. The problem with tradition, as Frank Herbert rightly points out, is that there is always an older one.
As for who gave the term a negative connotation, I presume you mean this to be a reference to Christianity, and yet we find that the term is used quite positively, for instance, as a Catholic liturgical term.

LOL!! Too bad she didn't get what you're trying to point out.
sigh, i did get what he was talking about , i choose not to acknowledge what he said, as i choose each word in my statement based upon QBLH. I was hoping perhaps someone may have picked up on that with my use of the word "intentionally", but apparently this is not the right audience for such topics. Cest la vie.
