The origin and nature of the deviant Satanism

Sectarianism and adherence to various sects has become an important phenomenon in modern age. This issue has attracted not only the theologians but also a large number of sociologists due to the existence of a strong relationship between this issue and some areas of social and collective life. Particularly, the teachings resulting from the activities of the newly-established religious schools and various sects promote values, norms and practices that, in many cases, are in conflict with the values and norms governing human communities. Although the damages and consequences of the activities of most sects have not been seriously addressed from social and security perspectives, some of these groups need to be given considerable attention since they directly target ethical and humanitarian values and mar social security.
