Most members are born into a denomination, but they accept members who convert to that denomination. Sects are small religious organizations that have split from a denomination due to doctrinal differences. They tend to believe that they are right in their beliefs. They are generally intolerant of other faiths and are hostile to existing government. A cult is a religious organization in which the members believe a person to have special knowledge.
Cults are lead by people who make their followers believe that the leader has supernatural powers.
Members of cults tend to reject the rest of society.
