mundi, When do we frame a set of traditions, values, texts or rituals as a denomination or sect and when do we frame it as a whole religion?
How do we know that Eastern Orthodox church and Protestant church belong to the same religion but are not the same religion as Judaism? When does a sect become a religion by its own?
I’m focusing here on western religions, because as I have seen it, westerners put more efforts to emphasise these boundaries.
