Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sons of Freedom Doukhobors are considered a sect because they are a group that has separated from a larger religious tradition (in this case, the main Doukhobor community) to follow more strict or different interpretations of that tradition. Sects typically form as offshoots of established religions, emphasizing purity of belief and often practicing more rigorous or fundamentalist observances.
