Sectarianism
Sectarianism is excessive attachment to a particular sect, religion, or group, especially to the exclusion of others. Most often, the term carries a connotation of religious prejudice. More rarely, it can used to describe excessive attachment to other kinds of groups, such as political parties; in modern discourse, other terms such as partisanship or tribalism are more commonly used.
Bahá’u’lláh condemns religious fanaticism and sectarian hatred in His Writings, qualifying them as "a world-devouring fire, whose violence none can quench",[1] calling on His followers to "[c]onsort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship,"[2] and upholding progressive revelation and the unity of religions as foundational principles of His Revelation.
