DEVOTED GROUPS can be described as CULTS, which are groups of people who are devoted to a particular belief system or cause. CULTS often have a charismatic leader and members who are willing to follow the leader's teachings and practices without question. CULTS can range from religious to political in nature, and their members may be devoted to a single idea or cause. CULTS often have a strong sense of community and loyalty among its members, and they may also have rituals and ceremonies that are unique to the group.
