Welcome to the New religious movements work group of WikiProject Religion. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Misplaced Pages's coverage of new religious movements, cults, and related topics, and the organization of information and articles on these topics. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

• This group has as its goals to create, improve, and maintain articles relating to new religious movements in a neutral, non-biased, atmosphere of cooperation.
