Church-sect theory was formulated by Max Weber to explain how religious organizations are formed. The terms sect and church existed before Weber analyzed their interconnectedness under the church-sect theory. According to Weber, the process of rationalization of elements is given priority in sociology (Weber 67). He associated rationalism with Anglo-American spirit of capitalism whereby an individual was supposed to accumulate wealth for him or her to be respected in society. Conceptualization of the church and the sect allows sociologists categorize religious organizations based on their values. According to Weber, the main difference between a church and a sect is related to membership. In his view, an individual becomes a member of a church through birth while people could become members of a sect by deciding to join them. Troeltsch offered a different definition of the theory since he was a religious scholar, unlike Weber who was a sociologist. Troeltsch offered his definition by explaining how religious values could affect the behavior of an individual in society. In this regard, Troeltsch observed that the two concepts are related in terms of influencing human behavior, but not in their organization. Moreover, he noted that the two differ in terms of accommodation or compromise. In fact, many religious values differ in terms of values and principles. Therefore, Troeltsch’s review reveals that there are three types of behaviors, which are related to various religious typologies. These include churchly behavior, sectarian behavior, and mystical behavior. However, the third type of behavior is not usually considered when analyzing church-sect theory. The church-sect theory suggests that categorization of religions is a gamut that ranges from protest-like sects to the symmetry, which preserves religion. Nevertheless, the theory observes that sects are usually secessionist groups that seem to be in conflicts with society. Cults and other new spiritual movements are not included in the continuum because their values and organization are different. The continuum starts with sects, which tend to be rebellious to the values of society. Churches are stable because they follow an established system of laws and regulations. It should be noted that religious organizations have specific names and these names are never used interchangeably, especially in the study of sociology of religion. The typologies of religion are usually referred to as ideal types meaning that they are mere examples of other categories (Wallis 41) Based on the church-sect theory, the church is described as a religious organization that is stable in its values and laws. In other words, it is a custodian of the religious teachings in society because it uses established tools and methods to educate its members. However, the church does not encourage its members to come up with divergent views. This means that it does not accept competition. Churches aim at spreading their rules and values to all people in the world. Again, the church has a cordial relationship with the political and economic leaders in society. A church has some of features that distinguish it from other organizations. These features include universality, r
