No, no, no.  "Cult" in French has an entirely different connotation.
It's meaning here is more in the sense of 'worship' (as in your first
definition), not a 'cult' as in English.  The Catholic and all other
recognised religions also fall under this same 'Ministère de culte'.
This is not the least bit offensive.
