Cross was not derived from any cult. As many historians of his time recorded, there lived a man, a real historical figure, who did many miracles, and was executed in a way Romans commonly executed criminals = on a wooden cross. And some people who follow Jesus like to remember him and his life using the wooden cross he was executed on by Romans.I am a Hindu and a practicioner of Sun worship.
As a student of theology, i do not believe that SUn worship should be associated with anything demonic.
Honestly, paganism is so much more nuanced and complex than most people, specifically adherent of Abrahamic faiths, make it out to be.
Christianity in itself was conflated with Sol Invictus ( the cult of the Unconquered Sun).
A lot of Christian iconography , including the cross was derived from this cult.
