In 2005, the Hate Crimes Unit of the Edmonton Police Service confiscated anti-[[Falun Gong]] materials distributed at the annual conference of the [[American Family Foundation]] by staff members of the Calgary Chinese Consulate (Province of Alberta, Canada).

Het gebruik van de term sekte (of in het Engels ook cult) voor religieuze bewegingen in overheidsdocumenten komt over het algemeen overeen met het alledaagse en negatieve gebruik van het woord sekte.[1][2] Verslagen van de overheid of door de overheid aangestelde commissies waarin de woorden sekte of cult werden gebruikt, kwamen voor in België,[3] Duitsland,[4] Canada,[5] Frankrijk,[6] Oostenrijk[7] en de Verenigde Staten.[8] Hoewel deze documenten gelijkaardige bewoordingen gebruiken, bevatten ze niet noodzakelijk dezelfde groepen, noch zijn er vaststaande criteria om een groep al dan niet in de lijst op te nemen.[1][2] Ook andere regeringen deden onderzoek naar [nieuwe] religieuze bewegingen, maar gebruikten de termen sekte of cult.[1]

Australië

In Australië verwees het Parlement van South Wales op 24 november 1992 naar Kenja Communication as cult.[9]

België

Parlementaire Onderzoekscommissie (1997)

De juridische commissie van de Belgische Kamer van Volksvertegenwoordigers benoemde een parlementaire onderzoekscommissie om een beleid in verband met sekten uit te stippelen. Op 28 april 1997 presenteerde de onderzoekscommissie een 670 bladzijden tellend verslag[3] dat een lijst bevatte van 189 groepen en bewegingen, en vermeldde dat "[t]he fact that a movement is listed here, even if at the instigation of an official instance, does not signify that the Commission regards it as a cult". Het parlement aanvaardde niet het hele verslag, en stemde ervoor om enkel de conclusies en aanbevelingen van de onderzoekscommissie aan te nemen (19 bladzijden), maar niet de lijst. Hoewel niet de hele lijst aangenomen werd, publiceerde de commissie het hele verslag.[10] Volgens Human Rights Without Frontiers International werd de Belgische Kamer van Volksvertegenwoordigers in 2005 veroordeeld voor het schade toebrengen aan het imago van een organisatie (Universal Church of God’s Kingdom), die voorkwam in de lijst van de parlementaire onderzoekscommissie uit 1997.[11]

Canada

Een verslag van de Canadian Security Intelligence Service uit 1999 behandelde „Doomsday Religious Movements espousing hostile beliefs and having the potential to be violent...” (Doemsdag-religieuze bewegingen met vijandige geloofspunten en met potentieel tot gewelddadigheid. Groepen die in Canada als Doomsday Relgious Movements werden behandeld, waren:

In 2005 nam de Hate Crimes Unit van de politie van Edmonton anti-Falun Gong-materiaal in beslag dat verspreid werd op de jaarlijkse conferentie van de American Family Foundation door medewerkers van het Chinees Consulaat van Calvary (Provincie Alberta, Canada). Het materiaal, waarin Falun Gong een cult werd genoemd, werd beschouwd als een inbreuk op de wetgeving (Criminal Code) waarin het opzettelijk bevorderen van haat tegen identificeerbare religieuze groepen wordt verboden.[12]

China

Het Algemeen Bureau van het Ministerie van Openbare Veiligheid van de Volksrepubliek China houdt een lijst bij van wat het Bureau beschouwt als ’schadelijke sekten’. De titel luidt: Information Regarding the Organizations Already Identified as Cults (Informatie omtrent de organisaties die reeds als sekten werden geïdentificeerd). Onder de groepen is het op het christendom gebaseerde Eastern Lightning.[13] De volgelingen van Watchman Nee (the Shouters) zouden in 1983 als eersten op de lijst zijn geplaatst.[14] Andere groepen op christelijke basis in deze lijst zijn: The Shouters 2 (Chinese Shouters), Established King, de Heer God-’sekte’ (Lord God Sect), de Lingling-’sekte’, de All Scope Church, de Zuid-China Kerk (South China Church), de Discipelen (Disciples Sect), de Drie Graden van Dienst (Three Ranks of Service), de Koud Water-’sekte’ (Cold Water Sect), the Commune Sect, de Nieuw Testament Kerk (New Testament Church), de Opstandings-’sekte’ Resurrection Sect, de Dami Evangelism Association, en de World Elijah Evangelism Association.[15] In 2001, Falun Gong was added to the list.[16]

In 1995, a parliamentary commission of the National Assembly of France on cults produced its report[6] (in French: compare an unofficial English translation). The report included a list of purported cults compiled by the general information division of the French National Police (Renseignements généraux — a French police service) in association with cult-watching groups.

In May 2005 the then Prime Minister of France, in a circulaire,[17] which stressed that the government must exercise vigilance concerning the cult phenomenon,[17] said that the list of movements attached to the Parliamentary Report of 1995 had become less pertinent, based on the observation that many small groups had formed: scattered, more mobile, and less-easily identifiable,[17] and that the government needed to balance its concern with cults with respect for public freedoms and laïcité (secularism).[17] Subsequent French parliamentary commissions on cults reported on specific aspects of cult activity in 1999[18] and in 2006.[19]

Verslag van de Franse parlementaire commissie (1995)

De opinie is in Frankrijk verdeeld over het verslag van de parlementaire commissie uit 1995. Een provincierechtbank stelde dat al deze parlementaire geen juridische uitwerking hebben.[20] And as stated above, a Prime Ministerial circulaire warned that name-changes had reduced the usefulness of this particular Parliamentary report.[17]

Verslag van de Franse parlementaire onderzoekscommissie (1999)

The French Parliamentary report of 1999 on cults and money[22] concentrated its attention on some 30 groups which it judged as major players in respect of their financial influence.[23] It underlined the non-exhaustive character of its investigations, seeing them as a snapshot at a point in time and based on informatiion available.[24]

De onderzochte groepen omvatten:[22][23]

Oostenrijk

Beginning in 2011, the United States Department of State's International Religious Freedom Report, as released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor no longer distinguishes sects in Austria as a separate group. Rather, religious groups are divided into three legal categories: officially recognized religious societies, religious confessional communities, and associations.[25] In the most recent year for which sects were officially recognized in Austria, the groups included the Church of Scientology, the Unification Church, the Divine Light Mission, Eckankar, Hare Krishna, Osho movement, Sahaja Yoga, Sai Baba, Sri Chinmoy, Transcendental Meditation, Fiat Lux, Universal Life, and The Family.[26]

Rusland

In 2008 the Russian Interior Ministry prepared a list of "extremist groups." At the top of the list were Islamic groups outside of "traditional Islam," which is supervised by the Russian government. Next listed were "Pagan cults".[27] In 2009 the Russian Ministry of Justice created a council which it named "Council of Experts Conducting State Religious Studies Expert Analysis." The new council listed 80 large sects which it considered potentially dangerous to Russian society, and mentioned that there were thousands of smaller ones. Large sects listed included: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses, and what were called "neo-Pentecostals." [28]

A report to the United States House of Representatives, Section VI is entitled "Montana Doomsday Religious Cult - "Church Universal and Triumphant".

Project Megiddo (October 1999)

Sjabloon:Details

Project Megiddo consisted of an FBI analysis, with a report released on October 20, 1999.[30] The report warned against: "the potential for extremist criminal activity in the United States by individuals or domestic groups who attach special significance to the year 2000."[30] Its analysis focused on apocalyptic religious groups, doomsday cults and (New World Order) conspiracy theories.

The report discussed the potential for violence in groups that it called "biblically-driven cults"[31] The report warned that "less time spent on Bible study and more time spent on physical training - indicate that the cult may be preparing for some type of action."[30] Groups singled out and analyzed in the report under the heading "Apocalyptic Cults" included the Branch Davidians, the Concerned Christians, and Law Revue.[30] The International Asatru-Odinic Alliance accused the FBI of violating its First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, free speech, and peaceful assembly. The reason given for this accusation was the propagation of "numerous false statements and innuendos" about Odinism in the Project Megiddo report.[32]

Assessing the Threat (December 1999)

On December 15, 1999 the Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction presented a report called Assessing the Threat to the President of the United States and to the United States Congress. The report discusses the 1984 contamination of salad bars in Oregon by the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh group, and the Aum Shinrikyo Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway of 1995. Both groups are referred to as cults in the report.[8]

Controversen

Frankrijk

The criteria chosen by the French Renseignements généraux to establish the potential dangers of a movement were criticized since they were considered vague and may include many organizations, religious or not. One of the first criticisms came from bishop Jean Vernette, the national secretary of the French episcopate to the study of cults and new religious movements, who stressed that these criteria can be applied to almost all religions. Moreover, sociologists such as Bruno Étienne emphasized that the mental manipulation should not be defined by the policemen of the Renseignements généraux.[33] The list of cults was based on the criteria defined by the Renseignements généraux, but without specifying which of their practices are specifically criticized. In addition, the secrecy of the work made by the RG led to questions about the presence or absence of certain organizations in the list. Étienne questioned the presence of the CEDIPAC SA company, formerly known as European Grouping of Marketing Professionals (GEPM), as its activity is not in the religious field.[34] The absence of Opus Dei or the Freemasons also raised questions.[35][36] In 2007, Yves Bertrand, General Director of the Renseignements généraux from 1992 to 2003, spoke about his collaborative work with the parliamentary reports on cults, and said: "Alongside genuine and dangerous cults practicing removal of school, abuse of weakness or pedophilia, some groups have been a bit quickly dress up of the word cult".[37] Furthermore, on 27 May 2005, the 1995 list of cults of the French report was officially cancelled and invalidated by Jean-Pierre Raffarin's circulaire.[38]

In France, Antoinism was classified as a cult in the 1995 parliamentary reports which considered it one of the oldest healer groups.[39] However, in a 1984 letter, the French Minister of the Interior wrote that the movement was considered, from an administrative point of view, as having for exclusive purpose the exercise of a religion, thus complying with the 18th and 19th Articles of the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State. He added that antoinism had always been allowed to receive bequests or donations, which meant that its religious nature was never challenged.[40] In addition, many anti-cults activists, associations or watchers said they had not noticed cultic deviances in this group. For example, when heard by the Belgian commission on cults, philosopher Luc Nefontaine said that "the establishment of a directory of cult movements (...) seems to him dangerous, because it would also give a bad image of quite honourable organizations such as (...) Antoinism".[41] Eric Brasseur, director of Centre for information and advice on harmful cultish organizations (Centre d'information et d'avis sur les organisations sectaires nuisibles, or CIAOSN) said: "This is a Belgian worship for which we have never had a complaint in 12 years, a rare case to report".[42] Similarly, in 2013, the Interministerial Mission for Monitoring and Combatting Cultic Deviances (Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires, or MIVILUDES) made this comment: "We have never received reporting from Antoinists. They heal through prayer, but as long as they do not prevent people from getting proper treatment by legal means..." In addition, the Renseignements généraux stopped monitoring the religion given the absence of any problem.[43] In 2002, the national service "Pastoral, sects and new beliefs" ("Pastorale, sectes et nouvelles croyances"), which analyses new religious movements from a catholic point of view, wrote about Antoinism: "Although listed among the cults in the 1995 Parliamentary Report, it has no cultish feature."[44] Similarly, the French sociologist Régis Dericquebourg, who deeply studied the religion, concluded that Antoinism is not a cult: it "has no totalitarian influence on its members, and do not dictate their behaviour to get in the world; it is not exclusive [and] shows no hostility towards social systems".[45]

In France, the 1995 parliamentary report listed the Shri Ram Chandra Mission. This has been criticized by lawyer Lawrence Hincker, who said that "this system of meditation, called Sahaj Marg, does not lead to a life away from the world. It integrates all aspects of man, whether physical, mental or spiritual, without charge or austerity or penance or self-negation".[46] According to the sociologist Bruno Étienne, an expert on religious issues, the SRCM publishes books as any other group but does not proselytize, and has never been convicted: "To us, it is fully a NMR (new religious movement), modern religious group, although based on an ancient tradition, and subject to serious arguments advanced by others more knowledgeable, we do not understand why it is criticized on the list of the damned".[47] Raphaël Liogier, Director of the Observatory of religious and university professor at the Institut d'Études Politiques in Aix-en-Provence, said he did not understand the inclusion on the cult list of an association that is fully recognized in India.[48]

Other groups found in the country included Divine Light Mission, Eckankar, Hare Krishna, the Holosophic community, the Osho movement, Sahaja Yoga, Sai Baba, Sri Chinmoy, Transcendental Meditation, Landmark Education, the Center for Experimental Society Formation, Fiat Lux, Universal Life, and The Family.”

    The GAO investigators found a 1989 case in Montana in which members of a "doomsday religious cult" had stockpiled many weapons, including several fifty caliber weapons. The cult is called the "Church Universal and Triumphant" (C.U.T.), and its leader is Elizabeth Clare Prophet. The cult was in the process of building underground bunkers to prepare for the end of the world. This investigation began because Ms. Prophet's and another cult member used birth certificates of deceased individuals to obtain driver's licenses so that they could purchase and stockpile weapons.
    In an ATF crackdown, agents found that the cult members had illegally acquired hundreds of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Among this stockpile was ten semi-automatic fifty caliber weapons purchased with false identifications. The cult members were convicted of illegally purchasing firearms. According to GAO, Ms. Prophet continues to lead the cult and was not charged in connection with these offenses.
