New Religious Movements

New Religious Movements (NRMs) are spiritual or religious groups that have emerged relatively recently, often in response to social changes, cultural shifts, or unmet spiritual needs. They can vary widely in beliefs and practices, encompassing everything from new interpretations of existing religions to entirely innovative belief systems. While some NRMs may focus on unique spiritual experiences, others might advocate for social reform or community building. They tend to attract followers seeking alternative paths to spirituality, often facing skepticism or misunderstanding from mainstream society. Examples include the Bahá'í Faith, Scientology, and various New Age movements.
