[Magdalen] Sect?

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I always figured a sect is a small group of religious followers of a
particular stripe; a cult is an evil sect.

Well.  Here's a link to a url that explains the whole thing beautifully,
and, since it's Canadian, it's above reproach. I doubt that anyone will be
in the least offended by anything it says -- no, really!

The term "sectarian" comes from the word:

And the term "nonsectarian" also has an interesting pedigree:
