A sect is in a non-Indian context generally a small religious or political group. Sects have many beliefs and practices in common with the religion or party that they have broken off from, but are differentiated by a number of doctrinal differences. In contrast, a denomination is a large, well-established religious group; however, in Islam, the large groups such as Wahabi, Shi'a and Sunni are referred to as "sects", not "denominations". In politics, a mass party typically tolerates a variety of views and interpretations, insisting only on a limited number of basic principles as a condition for membership.
Etymology
The word sect comes from the Latin secta (from sequi to follow), meaning (1) a course of action or way of life, (2) a behavioural code or founding principles, (3) a specific philosophical school or doctrine. Sectarius or sectilis also refer to a scission or cut, but this meaning is, in contrast to popular opinion, unrelated to the etymology of the word. A sectator is a loyal guide, adherent or follower.
Sociological definitions and descriptions
