Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

The clue "Religious subgroup" corresponds to the answer "SECT" for several reasons:

1. Distinct Group: A sect refers to a distinct subgroup within a religious belief or denomination.
2. Separate Beliefs: Sects often have their own specific beliefs or practices that set them apart from the larger religious community.
3. Autonomous Structure: Sects can operate independently or semi-autonomously from the main religious body.
4. Unique Identity: Just like a subgroup, a sect maintains its unique identity within the broader religious framework.

Therefore, given the characteristics of a sect as a distinct subset within a larger religious context, the answer "SECT" aligns perfectly with the clue "Religious subgroup."

Definition of "SECT"

a group of people with somewhat different religious beliefs (typically regarded as heretical) from those of a larger group to which they belong.

two of the older sects—the Congregationalists and the Baptists—were able to increase their membership dramatically

a sect of anarchists
