How to use "Sect" in context?
Sect is an often misunderstood word. It refers to a group of people who share similar beliefs and practice rites or rituals that set them apart from the mainstream. Sects can be religious, political, social, or behavioral in nature and can be highly exclusive. Because sect membership is based on beliefs and not biological identity, members can switch sects without much consequence. Segments of society that are marginalized by the dominant society often find membership in a sect to be a pathway to self-identity and social acceptance.
