			This '''list of new religious movements''' (]), lists groups identified as such by religious scholars.
	This '''list of new religious movements''' (NRMs), lists groups that either identify themselves as religious, ethical or spiritual organizations, or are generally seen as such by religious scholars, which are independent of older denominations, churches, or religious bodies. Although there is no one criterion or set of criteria for describing a group as a "]", use of the term usually requires that the group be both ''of recent origin'' and ''different from existing religions''.

			{{CompactTOC8
