Template talk:New Religious Movements

Bringing this up again. NRM ≠ Cult

This is an issue that has not been resolved and really needs to.

• "Cult" is a subjective term that can apply to any group, depending on which group or individual you ask - inclusion of groups in the template is contentious, since the term, as used by the Chtistian countercult movement, the anti-cult movement, and assorted "specialists" is usually used in a negative context.
• "Cult" has also been used historically
• Cult and NRMs are not interchangeable terms

The template should be renamed "New religious movements" and all references to cult should be moved to a separate template (or templates, since the definition varies so vastly)

Note there are problems with organising anything under the term "cult" per se so I wouldn't recommend creating a new template under that name, see some recent history here. HelenOnline 07:24, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
