List of new religious movements#Notes

A new religious movement (NRM) is a religious or spiritual group or community with practices of relatively modern{{cite web |author= |title=new religious movement |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/new-religious-movement |website=Brittanica |access-date=29 March 2025}} origins. NRMs may be novel in origin or they may exist on the fringes of a wider religion, in which case they will be distinct from pre-existing denominations. Academics identify a variety of characteristics which they employ in categorizing groups as new religious movements. The term is broad and inclusive, rather than sharply defined. New religious movements are generally seen as syncretic, employing human and material assets to disseminate their ideas and worldviews, deviating in some degree from a society's traditional forms or doctrines, focused especially upon the self, and having a peripheral relationship that exists in a state of tension with established societal conventions.{{rp|29}}{{sfn|Nelson|1987|p=107}}{{sfn|Swenson|2009|p=206}}

A NRM may be one of a wide range of movements ranging from those with loose affiliations based on novel approaches to spirituality or religion to communitarian enterprises that demand a considerable amount of group conformity and a social identity that separates their adherents from mainstream society. Use of the term NRM is not universally accepted among the groups to which it is applied.{{Cite journal |last=Coney |first=Judith |date=June 1998 |title=A Response to: Religious Liberty in Western Europe by Massimo Introvigne, Vol. 5, No. 2 |journal=ISKCON Communications Journal |volume=6 |issue=1}} Scholars have estimated that NRMs now number in the tens of thousands worldwide. Most have only a few members, some have thousands, and very few have more than a million.{{Cite book |title=New religious movements: challenge and response |date=5 May 1999 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-415-20049-3 |editor-last=Wilson |editor-first=Bryan R. |location=London [u.a.] |editor-last2=Cresswell |editor-first2=Jamie}}{{rp|17}} Academics occasionally propose amendments to technical definitions and continue to add new groups.{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/newreligiousmove00reli |title=New religious movements and rapid social change |date=1 January 1987 |publisher=Sage Publications |isbn=978-0-8039-8003-7 |editor-last=Beckford |editor-first=James A. |editor-link=James A.

"How can one find a definition of 'New Age' that will serve to bring so many different features together? One major difficulty in defining 'New Age' is that different writers draw different boundaries. Paul Heelas, for example, includes a significant number of what he calls the 'self religions': groups like Landmark Forum (also known simply as The Forum, formerly est or Erhard Seminar Training) and Programmes Limited (formerly Exegesis). Some writers trace the New Age back to William Blake (1757–1827); others see it as originating in the 'hippie' counter-culture in the USA in the 1960s, while the scholar of the New Age, Wouter Hanegraaff, places it later still, regarding it as beginning in the second half of the 1970s."{{Cite book \|title=The Dutch and Their Gods: Secularization and Transformation of Religion in the Netherlands \|last=Aupers \|first=Stef \|publisher=Verloren \|year=2005 \|isbn=978-90-6550-867-6 \|editor-last=Sengers \|editor-first=Erik \|series=Studies in Dutch Religious History \|volume=3 \|location=Hilversum \|chapter='We Are All Gods': New Age in the Netherlands 1960–2000}}{{rp\|193}}See: * Lewis 2004, p. 187.

"Many of the new religions attract individuals by the promise of peace of mind, spiritual well-being, gratifying experiences, and material success. In so doing they stress their concern for the individual and highlight one's personal worth and self-development. This is especially so in human growth movements such as Scientology, The Forum (previously known as Erhard Seminar Training [EST]), and qualsi-religious encounter groups."{{Cite book \|title=The study of religion, traditional and new religions \|date=31 December 1991 \|publisher=Routledge \|isbn=978-0-415-06432-3 \|editor-last=Clarke \|editor-first=Peter \|editor-link=Peter B.
