 | | A new religious movement or NRM is a religious, ethical, or spiritual grouping of fairly recent origin which is not part of an established religion and has not (yet) become recognised as a standard denomination, church, or religious body. |
 | | Some authors also count those movements which are in religious science seen as part of an existing religion but which either do present themselves as separate or as "the only right" religion or are not accepted by that religion as sharing the same basic creed. |
 | | Disaffected former members of these organizations have worked to expose what they believe is the "truth" about the groups in question, though the methods used by some of these former members have been known to be polemic, hostile and verbally abusive. |
