Attitude towards “another” can be arrived at through the observation of gestures, glances, facial expressions and, above all, through communication, the way of addressing each other in everyday situations, the “concerned relationship” Forming opinions about others is most frequently the result of an analysis of meetings, but it is also based on the formerly acquired information, firm opinions, stereotypes, myths, prejudices, attitudes, conceptions. For sect members the religious aspect plays a very important role in their perception of the world. Acquiring the fundamental meaning, it is the way of developing an image of the others. Thinking of the world, people, upbringing, everyday cares and plans has a religious dimension. Attitude towards the problems of the world is defined by the main idea of a sect – the thought of “salvation”, “life worthy of God”, “saving the world”.
