It's of course hard to read that without thinking about how it's published in the newspaper run by the Church of Christ, Scientist. Quoting Wikipedia:

    There have also been periodic tensions with both mainstream
    and fundamentalist Christians, who think the religion
    is aligned with Gnosticism or is a cult, and fault it
    for departing from traditional Christian doctrine. Of
    particular issue is the deity of Jesus, which Christian
    Science denies; and a view that Christian Science does
    teach, that God is not the creator of finite (material)
    existence and its concomitant suffering, sin and death.

The Christian Science Monitor is meant for a secular audience, and has good news coverage. But this is a commentary, and the people who think of the Latter Day Saints as being a cult likely also think that the Church of Christ, Scientist is a cult.

Because many people regard it as a cult?

The same reason goes for Scientology.
