These types of religions consider those within the group to be "saved," while those outside are the "damned." This division into the good (us) and evil (them) makes the group increasingly closed and exclusivist. In serious cases this may lead to "anti-social" behavior.
這類宗教，還習慣把教內人歸為「被救贖者」、教外人或離教出走的人則是「被詛咒者」，如此善惡對立的二分法，會讓這個團體日趨封閉、排他，嚴重時則會種下「反社會」的種子。
