Sociology
A sect is organised around:
beliefs that can be challenged by members, a charismatic leader, and openness to new recruits
tolerance towards other religions and the separation of church and state
voluntary membership, democratic leadership, and high levels of emotional commitment
the idea of the secular world itself as being sacred
voluntary membership, democratic leadership, and high levels of emotional commitment
A sect is a schismatic group of people whose beliefs differ from others within the same religion. Examples of sects are the Quakers and the early Baptists and Methodists within the Christian church. A sect claims a monopoly on the truth, but its membership is voluntary: people choose to join rather than being born into it, and its leadership is non-hierarchical. Members of a sect have a high level of emotional and moral commitment to the group, and often perceive a sharp boundary between themselves and non-members. 417 and 427
