Sects as a typology was created by Troeltsch (1931) which identifies the unique characteristics of this religious organisation. A sect has an informal organisational structure with a charismatic leader persuading and encouraging others to follow them. Generally, they attract members from the lower classes whom have become disillusioned with society. Encouraging members to reject the mainstream values of society. In terms of demands, sects require a deep commitment from their members and expect them to withdraw from life outside of the sect. Sects do not identify with the state and are in direct opposition to the state. However, sects do believe they possess the monopoly of religious truth.
