This article is devoted to the problem of the concept "sect" determination in religious studies and legal discourses. The paper presents the analysis of the etymology and use of the term "sect" in the history of philosophical, theological and religious thought. The authors advocate the position that there is no clear and consistent definition of the concept “sect” in modern religious science. The authors also express doubts about the possibility of an unambiguous definition of this concept development. The article expresses concern that an attempt to give and legislate a legal definition of the concept of “sect” (including “totalitarian sect” and “destructive cult”) may lead to the practice of unfair enforcement and other negative consequences in the context of Russian reality.
