AI overview
A sect is a subgroup that breaks away from a larger religious, political, or philosophical organization to follow its own distinct beliefs and practices. The term matters because it helps us understand how and why groups split from mainstream institutions, often when members perceive fundamental disagreements about what the organization should believe or do.
