Religious sects in France have tripled in last 15 years


The French government religious sects watchdog, Malividu, recently reported that religious sects in France have tripled in the last 15 years to over 600 different movements in the country.

The report also notes, "a huge increase in unqualified therapists, warning that sects are using the personality coaching and self-help trends to target impressionable people. 25 to 30 percent of psychotherapists in France are not certified practitioners. Some are charlatans, who use their practices to recruit the vulnerable. The Internet has also become a frequent tool for sect recruitment."
