A sect is a subgroup of a religion, usually one with significant disagreements with the main religion it is based upon. For example, LDS/Mormonism is a sect of Christianity – all Christians believe in a divine Jesus, but the details about how to worship are very different for Mormons vs. Protestants, Catholics, etc.
