Religious branches, or SECTS, are groups of people who share the same beliefs and practices within a religion. These branches often have different interpretations of religious texts and rituals, and may even have different names for the same deity. SECTS can be divided into two main categories: major SECTS, which are widely accepted and practiced, and minor SECTS, which are less well-known and often more controversial. Examples of major SECTS include Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, while minor SECTS include Gnosticism, Sufism, and Kabbalah.
