The whole idea of multiple sects and that there is a right and wrong way to worship reveals how ridiculous the whole thing is. It's all a popularity contest, whichever one has more followers/power is the true path, and the other is the cult. Even Orthodox isn't really a good term, as the whole Catholic/Orthodox Church split, or Orthodox jews.

Common parlance just defines it as a small weird upstart group that big religions can't tolerate.
