Abstract

The idea of religious freedom has favoured pluralism as we know it at present. Religious groups and society exist independently side by side, even though the former group is still excluded, by some means or other, due to the social pressures that have been exerted on them. Society, strongly influenced by the media, senses the new religious groups, also known as sects, as something dangerous that we have to fight because of the social and religious instability that may be roused at certains times. We are faced with a social manifestation of world-wide importance present in all societies. It is an essential and present-day phenomenon that is becoming more and more important in society and culture nowadays.
