Definition
Sectarianism is strict adherence to a particular sect or group, especially in religion or politics. It involves strong loyalty to one's own group and hostility towards others. It's like being so devoted to one sports team that you hate all the others. Sectarianism can lead to conflict, discrimination, and violence. It often involves rigid beliefs and a refusal to consider alternative viewpoints. Overcoming sectarianism requires tolerance, understanding, and a willingness to engage with different groups. It emphasizes division rather than unity.
