List of new religious movements
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A new religious movement is a religious community or ethical, spiritual, or philosophical group of modern origin, which has a peripheral place within the dominant religious culture. NRMs may be novel in origin or they may be part of a wider religion, such as Christianity , Hinduism or Buddhism , in which case they will be distinct from pre-existing denominations . Scholars studying the sociology of religion have almost unanimously adopted this term as a neutral alternative to the word "cult ". They continue to try to reach definitions and boundaries. 1
An NRM may be one of a wide range of movements ranging from those with loose affiliations based on novel approaches to spirituality or religion to communitarian enterprises that demand a considerable amount of group conformity and a social identity that separates their adherents from mainstream society. Use of the term is not universally accepted among the groups to which it is applied. 2 NRMs do not necessarily share a set of particular attributes, but have been "assigned to the fringe of the dominant religious culture", and "exist in a relatively contested space within society as a whole". 3
